Identifying Hidden Resources in Solar Home Systems as the Basis for Bottom-Up Grids

Presenters: Hannes Kirchhoff(Microenergy Research Group)


Overview

In the context of the modern energy access challenge, one new pathway towards electrification is to make use of hidden resources already in the field through small microgrids. In particular, this paper analyses the amount of energy that is dumped in a medium sized (65 Wp) solar home system (SHS) located in Bangladesh. The SHS is modeled using synthetic load curves and a sophisticated battery model that accounts for battery ageing. The simulation shows that more than 30% of the energy generated by the SHS remains unused[1].
