The objective of this study is to compile a micro-computer based tool to aid in the evaluation of power supply options for remote sites. The options considered are stand-alone photovoltaic, diesel generation, and grid extension power supplies. The basis on which the various options are compared is the unit cost of energy expected from the system. This is determined by combining all capital costs, running costs, and other payments on a present value basis over the project lifetime. The comparison of the unit energy cost expected from each option is only meaningful if the reliability of each supply system is known. The Loss of Energy Probability of each option is therefore established to provide a common ground on which to compare these costs. • 2014-10-11T11:54:00Z 2014-10-11T11:54:00Z 1989 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8291 eng application/pdf Energy Research Centre Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
