The Impact of Integrating Renewable Energy Sources in Rural Communities Using an Intelligent Agent (A Case Study of Afikpo Community)
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
his study is based on the investigation and simulation modelling of integrated renewable energy system in rural area. This work is aimed at analysing the various impact of integrating renewable energy sources in rural community through the design and implementation of integrated renewable energy system using an artificial neural intelligent agent. Afikpo North Local Government Area was taken as the location for the course of study. The data used was obtained from the Transmission Company of Nigeria(TCN) through the assistance of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company(EEDC).The energy demand of a selected cluster of Afikpo community was also gotten through feasibility studies carried out in the location. These data forms the input parameters for the modelling and analysis done on the impact of integrating renewable energy sources in rural community. MATLAB simulation showed that a high level of power stability was obtained when one or two renewable energy sources are been incorporated into the energy mix. Also the application of the artificial neural intelligent agent, showed that there can be constant/stable power supply and automatic switching (grid to renewable source and vice versa) in the energy mix. It is flexible and reliable.
