Is a hybrid power system possible in Cameroon?The study presents a hybrid power system involving a hydroelectric, solar photovoltaic (PV), and battery system for a rural community in Cameroon. The optimization of the system was done using HOMER Pro and validated using a meta-heuristic algorithm known as genetic algorithm (GA). The GA approach was programmed using the MATLAB software.
Does Cameroon have a hydro-based hybrid system?Research on the subject of hydro-based hybrid system optimization is limited, especially for Cameroon. As of 2019, Cameroon’s rural electrification rate was 32% while the national electricity access rate was 63% .
Is solar energy a viable energy source in Cameroon?The mean annual daily global solar irradiation is about 5.2 kWh/m 2 /day with peak sun hours of about 5 h per day thus, making solar energy a promising energy source. Cameroon has many small-scale to large-scale rivers with the potential for power production especially in remote areas .
Can hybrid off-grid systems solve the rural electrification challenge in Cameroon?This study contributes to the existing gap regarding hybrid off-grid systems in Cameroon by assessing their feasibility and sustainability in solving the rural electrification challenge, as well as illustrating how the cost of energy could be drastically reduced with the generation of power from more small hydroelectric plants.
Where is the mobile telecommunication antenna located in Cameroon?The mobile telecommunication antenna considered for this study is located at university of Buea, Southwest region of Cameroon with latitude (4° 8’ North) and longitude (9° 17’ East). The weather here can be characterized as humid, and there are two major seasons namely rainy and dry seasons. Each season remains about 6 months.
