Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!
PV-Diesel Hybrid Mini-Grid
In Senegal EnDev disseminates PV-diesel hybrid mini-grids for the electrification of villages with more than 500 inhabitants.
The systems consist of:
- a PV array with a capacity of 5.1 kWpconsisting of 30 polycrystalline PV modules with a capacity of 170 Wpeach
- a battery bank consisting of 24 elements of 2 V of lead-acid tubular plate batteries; element capacity is 800 Ah C10 leading to a bank capacity of 38,4 kWh
- a monophase generator of 10 kVA linked to the PV system
- a 5000 VA inverter
- 220 Volts low voltage three phase AC distribution through a mini-grid
The 16 systems have a total PV capacity of 81.6 kWp and can generate 106.9 MWh per year.
