Abstract
Due to the growing demand for energy in rural regions, energy models have been identified as critical drivers in planning, designing, and implementing suitable energy technologies. The current study suggests that geographical location plays a crucial role in the availability of renewable energy sources. From the comprehensive review of single, hybrid and integrated energy system models developed for rural areas of India, it was concluded that integrated renewable energy system models provided a reliable source of power. Energy models with single renewable source options proved unreliable power sources and required backup from batteries or a grid. Conversely, renewable energy models proved to be most cost-effective at locations where grid power supply was not available. The authors presented a case study of Chumukedima village of Dimapur district in Nagaland (India) using HOMER software. Findings from the study could be incorporated to address concurrent concerns of energy systems modelling in rural areas.
