“…A study which evaluated and compared the cost of electrifying a RHC using a decentralized hydrogen-based fuel cell and grid source for electricity generation has been conducted. The role that demand side management plays in the reduction of load size, optimal configuration of HRES, life cycle cost, and GHGs in RHCs was the focal point of a study conducted by Babatunde et al 18 The result of the study identified that investment in DSM activities will reduce the initial capital on HRES. Babatunde et al, 15 proposed the use of off-grid solar photovoltaic for powering a RHC in North-West Nigeria.…”

“…The study further proposed a framework for the design and optimization of standalone HRES for a hypothetical healthcare center which is assumed unconnected to a grid. The role that demand side management plays in the reduction of load size, optimal configuration of HRES, life cycle cost, and GHGs in RHCs was the focal point of a study conducted by Babatunde et al 18 The result of the study identified that investment in DSM activities will reduce the initial capital on HRES. A model that combines rank sum and WASPAS method was used to identify the best HRES location for RHCs in six communities in Nigeria.…”

Presented in this study is an optimal hybrid renewable off‐grid energy system model that supplies a typical rural healthcare center across the six regions in Nigeria. A technical and economic evaluation was carried out to identify the optimal off‐grid hybrid energy system combination based on photovoltaic (PV), wind, diesel generator and battery. Due to governments’ fuel subsidy in many developing countries, the pump price of fuel is reduced and not a true reflection of what is obtainable in a deregulated market. In order to comprehensively capture the reality, the study considered the effect of subsidy removal by carrying out a sensitivity analysis on the fuel pump price. Therefore, the impact of a change in diesel fuel pump price and interest rates on the economic performance criteria of the optimal configuration is explored. Results show that across all the locations considered, PV/diesel/battery system is the most economically viable with a net present cost and renewable fraction (RF) ranging between $12 779 and $13 646 and 70%‐80% respectively. The cost of energy (COE) is also estimated to range between 0.507 and 0.542 $/kWh.

Increasing demand for energy consumption leads to concerns of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Most of the supplied energy comes from dirty generating units. Since there are no regulations to limit emissions of CO2 from electricity generation, power plants can emit unlimited amount of CO2. This dissertation, first, aims to explain some government directed plans to reduce GHG emissions. It gives an overview about the Clean Power Plan (CPP) and its benefits and challenges. Further, it explains several options of CPP in reducing emissions and its repeal. Further, this dissertation, discusses the Climate Action Plan (CAP) corresponding to Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S. and its timeline targets.Demand side management (DSM) is discussed as a solution from engineering practices to affect GHG.Several options from DSM are investigated to reduce emissions. In fact, reducing energy consumption through DSM leads to a reduction in harmful emissions to the environment. This dissertation aims to identify the best available DSM options that will make the biggest difference for GHG reductions.A framework is created to examine several options of DSM in reducing carbon footprints. The framework states that affecting GHG in electric power system is the main goal. The goal can be achieved by implementing DSM technologies in distribution systems. The framework proposes criteria such as cost, power quality, reliability, environmental collateral, and socioeconomic equity to examine the effectiveness of several alternatives: energy management, communication and intelligence, electrification of heating and transportation, and distributed generation.Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) algorithms have been proposed to prioritize alternatives and select the ones that achieve suitable emissions reduction. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most common tools to perform decision-making analysis. The findings from AHP show that the "communication and intelligence" option is the potential optimal alternative in achieving the goal. Analytic Network Process iii (ANP) is another method for making decisions. It provides feedback and interdependence relationships between all nodes of the problem. It is more realistic and accurate than AHP. The results obtained from ANP suggest that "communication and intelligence" is the optimum technology to reach the target. By using ANP, the overall priority ranking has changed and the difference in priorities has reduced.Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 13-node test feeder is used, through Open Distribution System Simulator (OpenDSS), to perform power flow analysis on yearly load profile corresponding to Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S. The analysis includes simulation for several scenarios from the MCDM alternatives, either individual alternatives or mixed alternatives. The obtained results for the base case show the emissions decreased by 16.26% from 2005 level which comply with the results from emissions indicator released by the city. Integrating the MCDM alternatives indi...
