In Chapter 1 (one), an introduction is presented on the actual scenarios of the energy situations that are to be investigated. Chapter 2 (two) investigated an Islanded Complementary Power System of the Bo-Kenema power network. The addition of high efficiency turbines to the optimum scenario reduced the COE and NPC costs by 38.9% and 39.1% respectively, while increasing CO_2 emissions by 49.9%. In chapter 3 (three), a decision-making exercise by the Government of Sierra Leone led to the optimum scenario being the most sustainable configuration. A multi-attribute decision making approach considering weight assignment used in Chapter 4 (four) resulted to an optimum configuration for electrifying Banana Island. By using different scheduling approaches, solar tracking systems and PV modules in Chapter 5 (five), the optimum configuration increased PV production by 28% which led to a huge reduction in costs.}, school = {琉球大学}, title = {Techno-economic modelling and optimization of hybrid renewable energy sources for sustainable electrification} }
