hybrid renewable storage cost vs benefit calculation in Ghana

This study investigated the feasibility and sustainability of standalone hybrid energy systems for rural electrification in Ghana. The problem addressed was the lack of electricity access in rural areas of Ghana, despite progress in increasing access rates in urban areas.

The results indicate that PV/diesel/battery storage hybrid system is the most feasible, optimized, cost-effective and environmentally friendly system among the systems considered. This system has a Cost of Energy (COE) of 0.399 $/kWh and an NPC of $296,552. Although this COE is approximately three
