Multi-year techno-economic assessment of proposed zero-emission hybrid community microgrid in Nigeria using HOMER.

This paper presents a novel use of the HOMER Software for the multi-year economic, environmental, and energetic assessment of a proposed multi-source standalone renewable microgrid. A rural-but-rapidly-commercializing community in Nigeria's middle belt was used as a case study, with an average power demand of 975 kW and average consumption of 23.028 MWh/day.
