Recommendations for Ghana''s power sector focus on diversification, grid flexibility, infrastructure upgrades, energy efficiency, institutional strengthening, and regional
The cost and performance of the battery systems are based on an assumption of approximately one cycle per day. Therefore, a 4-hour device has an expected capacity factor of 16.7% (4/24 = 0.167), and a 2-hour device has an expected
The costs of a grid-scale battery are generally around 2x higher than the underlying battery, after reflecting the balance of system, power equipment, controls and communication, systems
This study examines the feasibility of a stand-alone photovoltaic, diesel generator and battery storage hybrid power system for the electrification of off-grid rural areas in northern Ghana. The HOMER software package was used for simulation analysis. Five optimization scenarios considered feasible by HOMER were evaluated.
This system has a Cost of Energy (COE) of 0.399 $/kWh and an NPC of $296,552. Although this COE is approximately three times the current energy cost in Ghana, sensitivity analysis shows that changing certain parameters such as fuel costs, and capital subsidies can reduce COE.
This system generates 108,535 kWh per year to meet the load demand. Considering the cost per kWh of grid electricity in Ghana, which is 0.118 $/kW (March 2021), and the estimated demand of 81,782 kWh, the payback period can be determined using Equation 10 .
The government of Ghana has established pilot renewable minigrids in five off-grid communities as a testing ground for the electrification of over 600 existing rural communities that cannot be electrified via the national grid.
