| Abstract |
Electrification of rural South Africa has traditionally been implemented using stand-alone
renewable energy systems. These are often of a hybrid nature (with diesel generator) and can be
integrated to form an isolated weak grid. Also, contemporary scenarios envision extension of the
National utility using cheap distribution topologies. The role of PV interfacing within these contexts is
identified, and a technical exploration of various topologies and control strategies is presented. Based
on this, a design proposal is formulated. |
