摘要
This paper analyses power supply options for remote areas of Nigeria. Three systems were examined namely solar powered systems, conventional diesel generator plant and connection to the national grid. The analysis has shown that solar (photovoltaic) systems are the most economically viable, offering the least energy cost per annum. Photovoltaic power systems also provide a virtually maintenance free operation since they have no moving parts. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
