Transformer and Mini – Grid
A mini-grid here means an integrated local generation and distribution system with installed capacity below 1MW, capable of serving numerous end‐users independent of the national grid.
Mini-grids can be run by a combination of energy sources, which means they have a lower levelized cost of electricity. Mini-grids are also able to spread electrical storage across many users which reduces the cost when compared to off-grid or solar home systems where electrical storage is concentrated in one area.
