This comprehensive guide to off-grid electrification is a valuable resource for students and practicing engineers, providing a thorough exploration of various systems and technologies. As the off-grid electrification industry continues to expand, universities are recognizing the need for specialized courses and programs in humanitarian engineering and appropriate technology. However, a textbook that adequately addresses this growing market has yet to be released. This book fills that gap by offering a technical foundation of off-grid electrical systems, contextualizing the technical aspects for developing countries, and discussing best practices through real-world data.
Chapters seamlessly integrate technical details with insights from industry practitioners, adopting a pragmatic and data-driven approach. A wide range of off-grid systems and technologies are covered, including solar, wind, hydro, generator sets, biomass systems, battery storage, and converters. Realistic examples, case studies, and practical considerations from actual systems showcase the interplay between off-grid systems and the economic, environmental, social, and broader development aspects of rural electrification. Dedicated chapters delve into the operation and control of mini-grids, load and resource estimation, and the design of off-grid systems.
Special topics focused on electricity access in developing countries are also included, such as energy use in rural communities, technical and economic considerations of grid extension, electricity theft, metering, and best practices for addressing common problems. Each chapter is designed to be instructor-friendly, featuring illustrative examples and problems that reinforce key concepts. Complex, open-ended design problems throughout the book encourage readers to think critically and deeply.
By providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of off-grid electrification, this book serves as a valuable tool for students, engineers, and professionals seeking to advance their knowledge and expertise in this field. Its practical insights and comprehensive coverage make it an essential resource for anyone involved in designing, implementing, or managing off-grid electrical systems in developing countries or other contexts.
