From diesel reliance to sustainable power in Iraq: Optimized hybrid microgrid solutions
This study analyzes Iraq's electricity crisis situation, worsened by wars and frequent power outages. It critiques reliance on diesel generators and advocates transitioning to solar photovoltaic (SPV) systems, strongly supported by experts. Using adapted load data using the innovative ROSETTA transform, SPV was found technically viable but currently more expensive than existing rates. A hybrid microgrid system combining SPV and batteries emerged as the most economical solution, with quick cost recovery. The research highlights the need for a shift toward sustainable energy for Iraq's future.
