Hybrid Mini-Grid Sizing with micrOgridS – An Open-Source Tool for Optimizing Renewable Energy Components within Mini-Grids (Berendes 2018)
Sarah Berendes
Hybrid Mini-Grids (HMG) are an ideal solution for remote settlements without energy access. HMGs are typically sized and optimized with commercial software that comes with the usual limitations and lacks of transparency.
Reiner Lemoine Institute has attempted to develop an open-source alternative to standard software for modeling and sizing HMGs.
