TECHO _ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF ELECTRIFICATION OF SMALL VILLAGES IN PALESTINE BY CENTRALIZED AND DECENTRALIZED PV SYSTEM
This study presents the alternative solution for electrification of small villages far away from the grid by pv-systems designed as centralized or decentralized configuration and the economic evaluation of using such a system .
The purpose of this study is to select the optimum configuration which runs correctly with the least possible cost .
Our economic evaluation for the alternatives is based on the cost of 1 kwh generated by the different types of configurations.
The best configuration is the system which generates energy with minimum cost of 1Kwh.
This study has been evaluated for three small villages in Tubas area (Salhab,Ibziq and Yarza ) as a case study.
For the three selected villages ,the cost of 1KWh which is generated by AC decentralized configuration is less than AC centralized configuration ,this indicator shows that AC decentralized pv system is the optimum solution .
