4 FAQs about Myanmar Microgrid

Which microgrid system is used in rural electrification in Myanmar?

Firstly, the background of rural electrification in Myanmar is introduced. Five microgrid systems, including solar microgrid (SMG), diesel microgrid (DMG), biogas microgrid (BMG), solar & diesel microgrid (SDMG) and solar & biogas microgrid (SBMG), are studied in the case of Myanmar.

Can mini-grids be developed in Myanmar?

Uncertainty about grid expansion creates financial risk for mini-grids or similar models. This section discusses the main renewable energy technologies that are suitable for mini-grid development in Myanmar. Solar photovoltaic systems use sunlight to directly generate electricity.

Are hybrid microgrid systems economically efficient in Myanmar?

Moreover, simulations by HOMER are carried out to demonstrate the ideal economically efficient microgrid system for each district of Myanmar in different time periods. Results show hybrid microgrid systems, including SDMG and SBMG system, are more competitive than other solutions.

Which micro-grid has the lowest unit price of power in Myanmar?

Previous studies about the economic assessment of micro-grid in Myanmar suggest that hydro features the lowest unit price of power .
