A Sizing Method for PV–Battery–Generator Systems for Off-Grid Applications Based on the LCOE

Electricity supply in nonelectrified areas can be covered by distributed renewable energy systems. The main disadvantage of these systems is the intermittent and often unpredictable nature of renewable energy sources. Moreover, the temporal distribution of renewable energy may not match that of ener...
