Techno-economic feasibility of a remote PV mini-grid electrification system for five localities in Chad

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