| Abstract: | The author summarizes a study which examined 19 commercially available options for electrifying remote communities in Mexico. Characteristics of a typical community were defined and, using seven of the technologies, power systems were designed capable of supporting this community. The performance of these systems was evaluated, with respect to their ability to satisfy 11 technical design objectives, five socioeconomic objectives, and their impact on the environment. A photovoltaic-diesel generator hybrid system with a wind generator option was recommended for the typical community |
