The renewable energy sources for electricity generation: Short review

Abstract

It is critical to increase the value of life in rural areas by developing power from renewable sources or expanding the grid. The extension of the national grid or off-grid systems depends on location, geography, population, distance from grid point, and land size. Since grid connections are not always available or feasible, off-grid rural electrification systems using renewable energy sources (RES) have become unavoidable. An alternative to costly grid extensions in remote areas of the world is a hybrid combination of renewable energy technologies. This review paper discusses renewable energy sources that can generate electricity for residential and commercial.
