摘要
Hybrid renewable energy systems are economical off-grid methods of generating power to remote rural areas, where power lines are prohibited due to costs. However, South Africa's policies and regulations are not making it any easier for these systems to be more exposed and accessible in real time. Most of the research studies on renewable hybrid systems or microgrids in South Africa focused mainly on the optimal sizing and optimal control of different systems by making use of renewable energy simulation software's, but there is no research done on the implementation of these hybrid systems in real time. The aim of the study is to come up with the methodology to design, implement and control a hybrid system in South Africa conditions for small rural loads. However, further comprehensive research work have to be done on the study.
