In this paper, safe techno-economic sizing methodology of a standalone photovoltaic system is investigated. It is proposed to size the system on the basis of solar radiation measurements. Then, Markov transition matrices (MTM) are used to simulate stochastic cloud cover sequences. Each sizing is...

As a developing country, Malaysia has always faced the problem of rural electrification in its islands. Rural islands cannot be connected to the grid as it is economically not feasible due to the low number of residents. The high greenhouse gas emission of the diesel generator is unfavorable to...
