This paper introduces a comprehensive low voltage (LV) microgrid planning tool for rural electrification in developing countries. The tool consists of a two-step algorithm, starting with proposing a new architecture of a distribution system.
Low voltage microgrids are defined as having a voltage range of less than 1 kV AC and 1.5 kV DC according to the IEC 60038. This paper aims to develop a comprehensive low voltage (LV) microgrid planning tool.
In a comprehensive low voltage microgrid, the cluster structure aims to allow for a gradual electrification. Each cluster has just enough PVs to cover its energy consumption and is associated with a deBES located on the pole where the cluster is connected.
This demonstration project focuses on two key areas of clean energy: energy efficiency (EE) in buildings and solar microgrids for rural electrification. Energy efficiency in buildings can contribute to slow
