A prize collecting Steiner tree approach to least cost evaluation of grid and off-grid electrification systems
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Energy"
DOI: 10.1016/j.energy.2018.07.029
Abstract: The lack of access to electricity in developing countries necessitates spatial electricity planning for guiding sustainable electrification projects that evaluate the costs of centralized systems vis-a-vis decentralized systems. Heuristic approaches have been widely used in… read more here.
