Rural electrification is one of the predominant policy actions designed to increase the well being of rural populations together with improved healthcare, education, personal advancement and economical development. Rural electrification can be completed through connection to a national or regional electrification grid. This document applies to cases where the grid is too far away (too costly) or the individual demand centres are too small to make grid access economic, where autonomous power systems may be used to supply these services. This series of documents intends to provide to different players involved in rural electrification projects (such as project developers, project implementers, installers, etc.) documents for the setting up of renewable energy and hybrid systems with AC voltage below 500 V, DC voltage below 50 V and power below 50 kVA.
