Check Mini Grid Feasibility

The purpose of this tool is to determine whether the mini grid as designed can deliver reliable power to each customer.

  • Make sure that the battery does not exceed its maximum capacity in KV (or the battery will need an upgrade).
  • Make sure that each line does not exceed its maximum capacity in KV (which is a fire hazard).
  • Make sure that each customer (electricity meter) receives a minimum KV.

A basic power flow analysis should be sufficient but more complex techniques are encouraged as well.
