Optimal Design of a Mini-Grid. For Sustainable Integrated Coastal Development

      Аннотация: This book presents an optimal design of a solar-diesel hybrid mini-grid system for 132 families in an isolated island-Sandwip in Bangladesh. The electrical load is considered based on the local needs and the electrical load demand is 20 kWh. The system is optimized using genetic algorithms. If the renewable energy source produces more than the one required by the loads, they excess energy can be used to charge the battery while if the amount of energy demand is higher than the one produced by the renewable energy source, the control strategy determines the most economical way to meet the energy deficit.
