  2. Stand-alone power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

    Schematics of a hybrid system. A stand-alone power system (SAPS or SPS), also known as remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation.

  3. Rural electrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_electrification

    Rural electrification is the process of bringing electrical power to rural and remote areas. Rural communities are suffering from colossal market failures as the national grids fall short of their demand for electricity. As of 2019, 770 million people live without access to electricity – 10.2% of the global population. [1]

  4. Rural Electrification Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act

    In the 1930s, the provision of power to remote areas was not thought to be economically feasible. [7] A 2300-volt distribution system was then used in cities. This relatively low voltage could be carried only about 4 miles (6.4 km) before the voltage drop became unacceptable. REA cooperatives used a 6900-volt distribution network (soon changed ...

  5. Single-wire earth return - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-wire_earth_return

    Single-wire earth return (SWER) or single-wire ground return is a single-wire transmission line which supplies single-phase electric power from an electrical grid to remote areas at lowest cost. The earth (or sometimes a body of water) is used as the return path for the current, to avoid the need for a second wire (or neutral wire ) to act as a ...

  6. Microgrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgrid

    A stand-alone microgrid has its own sources of electricity, supplemented with an energy storage system. They are used where power transmission and distribution from a major centralized energy source is too far and costly to operate. [1] They offer an option for rural electrification in remote areas and on smaller geographical islands. [4]

  7. Hybrid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

    Hybrid renewable energy systems are becoming popular as stand-alone power systems for providing electricity in remote areas due to advances in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. A hybrid energy system, or hybrid power, usually consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together to ...

  8. Extra-low voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extra-low_voltage

    Cabling for ELV systems, such as in remote-area power systems (RAPS), is designed to minimise energy losses while maximising safety. Lower voltages require a higher current for the same power. The higher current results in greater resistive losses in the cabling.
