Energy System Analysis and Mini-Grids

Many regions in which the population still has no or insufficient access to electricity are ideally suited for the supply of renewable energy, due to their location. Electricity from wind, solar, and hydropower can be used to electrify households that have not yet been connected to the national grid. Decentralized mini grids or solar home systems are often the answer.

Tools

RAMP

The software was co-developed by RLI scientists and helps with the stochastic simulation of energy user-controlled time series based on a few simple inputs

Offgridders

The simulation tool generates a model of a user-defined power supply system, optimizes the capacities of the generation, storage and electrical components of the system and then performs a deployment optimization of the optimized capacities.

ASEP_Phil – Technical Assistance for Access to Sustainable Energy in the Philippines

Even though the situation has improved recently, not all of the more than one hundred million inhabitants of the Philippines have access to electricity. As the Philippines have great potential for wind and solar power, due to their geographic location, renewable energies should be used to connect households to the grid. Decentralized minigrids and solar home systems provide suitable solutions in this context. In this project, RLI cooperates with GIZ International Services and ICF International to support the Philippine Department…
