| description | This study presents a techno-economic analysis of a mini-grid solar photovoltaic system for five typical
rural communities in Chad while promoting renewable energy systems adaptation and rural electrifica�tion. The assessment techniques include the establishment of the socio-economic state of the rural
communities through a field survey. The costs of system development, electricity tariff and sizing of
energy production are realised via the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) technique. Sensitivity analysis
was carried out to identify the parameters that affect the evolution of the LCOE during the life cycle of the
project. The results have shown that the annual energy production at all sites varies between 233 MWh/
year and 3585 MWh/year. The highest amount of energy production is estimated at Guelendeng at a rate
of 3218 MWh/year and a capacity of 2041 kW, while the lowest is predicted at Mombou at a rate of 211
MWh/year and a capacity of 134 kW. The standard LCOE for the system during the 25-year lifespan in the
five villages is estimated at 0.30 €/kWh except at Mailo which was 0.31 €/kWh. This cost per kilowatt-hour
is more attractive and competitive compared with the current rate charged by the national electricity
company. |
