Off Grid Solar Power Systems Design:The Beginner’s Guide in 2018
The off-grid solar system is an array of solar power components meant to run daily operations of electrical devices in absence of electricity. A similar array of solar power is the use of grid-tie solar systems; systems that are required to run electric appliances whenever utility grid is not supplying power. The grid-tie system is connected to the utility power source and works interchangeably ...

Optimal sizing of a hybrid energy system for a semi-arid climate using an evolutionary algorithm
The use of a genetic algorithm (GA) for optimal sizing of an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) is reported. As a pre-feasibility analysis and to determine the appropriate HRES type to be studied, wind energy potential and solar irradiation are first examined for the considered region (Tehran, Iran). These are inputs of the algorithm, and are assessed throughout a year utilising ...

Micro Power to the People
A letter to the editor alerted me to my chance to finally see a microhydro system. On January 18, Vivian Stockman and I visited Mickey and Jennifer Janowski, who live at an elevation of 2,250 feet in Webster County, W.Va. We didn’t go to admire their log home, which they built themselves — but we did that, too, while we were there. They’ve had an off-grid solar power system ...
