Discussion

Analysis demonstrates the cost benefits of lithium-ion over lead acid batteries in rural electrification, highlighting key sensitivities.

Lithium-ion battery systems are shown to reduce costs by about 30% compared to lead acid systems.
The study evaluates several renewable energy technologies including wind, solar, and biomass to optimize energy supply.
A sensitivity analysis of input factors influences the techno-economic viability of the proposed renewable energy systems.
The HOMER software program is used to assess costs, including the net present cost and levelized cost of energy.

Akkewar et al. (2025) studied this question.
