In rural Africa, where traditional energy infrastructure often falls short, the future shines brighter with the potential of microgrid systems. These small-scale power grids, powered by renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower, are pivotal for telecommunications giants like MTN to expand connectivity and support sustainable development.
A typical solar mini grid in Africa will have a size of between 10 and 100 kW, though other sizes are possible (Hirsch et al., 2018). Importantly, mini grids can be operated and controlled independently from the main grid. 2.1 Key components The key components of solar mini grids (see Figure 2) are:
Within the SESA project, the Moroccan Living Lab will develop and implement one off-grid solar minigrid to provide energy to 10 housing units in the rural demonstration site by December 2023. Second-life Li-Ion batteries will be used for energy storage. For monitoring the performance of the second-life 6 Solar mini grids in SESA 6
This article explores the transformative role of microgrids in rural African communities and MTN’s strategic initiatives to leverage this technology. Microgrid systems offer a sustainable solution to the energy challenges faced by rural Africa.
