PV4EH-Gambia
The direct beneficiaries of the project are about 400,000 pupils attending one of the 1,034 public school that will be powered with solar PV systems, as well as hundreds of school staff...
PV and battery optimized size, Project Costs, OPEX, and LCOE variation, dispersion, and variability for the computed solar PV systems (including storage) for 501,161 schools in Africa under the baseline option (blue) and the e-cooking option (red)
Decentralized renewable energy systems, either stand-alone or mini-grids, offer a promising solution to traditional grid-con-nected power sources.40–42 Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a cost-competitive option for the electrification of schools in rural Africa due to several factors.
RBES methods are widely used in PV and battery systems because of their simplicity and effectiveness. RBES have efficient decision-making capabilities which incorporate embedded domain knowledge (Zhou et al., 2023). These methods leverage predefined rules and algorithms to optimize energy management, cost savings, and system efficiency.
During school operating hours, the energy consumption was 22 MWh and 20 MWh for stable and intermittent supply scenarios, respectively. The optimal solar and battery sizes for the stable TOU and intermittent TOU scenarios were 12 kWp and 3 kWh, while 15 kWp and 3 kWh were found to be optimal for the intermittent flat rate scenario.
