READ MOREIn the previous chapter, we introduced that Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) is the most promising model to bring sustainable energy to All. Distributed energy system could be defined as small-scale energy generation units (structure), at or near the point of use, where the users are the producers—whether individuals, small businesses
READ MOREThe distributed energy system (DES) represents an innovative approach to energy generation and distribution that promotes decentralization and diversification of energy sources. DESs can offer numerous benefits, including increased resiliency, reduced transmission losses, improved efficiency, and lower carbon emissions.
READ MOREThe distributed energy system (DES) has high energy efficiency and low emissions due to energy cascade use and renewable energy integration (Han et al., 2016). The DES is defined as "A system where energy is made available close to energy consumers, typically relying on a number of small-scale technologies" ( Mavromatidis,

READ MOREIn "vision 2025", the government of Tanzania set a target of having 10,000MW generation capacity and having 85% electrification rate in the country. Currently generation capacity is 1,565 MW (2020) and access to electricity rate is 37 % (2019) respectively. There is a need of development of power infrastructure in the country.
READ MOREIn 2008, Tanzania generated 4,414 Gigawatts of grid energy, with 1600 GWh coming from natural gas, 2,655 Gigawatt from hydropower, 40 GWh from petroleum, and 119 Gigawatts from coal. There was an overall installed capacity of 1,219 megawatts, with 658 MW of thermal power and 561 megawatts of hydropower.

READ MORETanzania''s electricity sector has been heavily dependent on hydropower energy whose energy cannot be ascertained in times of drought. Effects of droughts faced during 1992/1993, 2005/2006, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 reduced reserve capacity
READ MORETanzania''s energy supply depends mainly on biomass. 78.4% of the total population have access to the grid electricity while households connected are 37.7%. The households electrified by solar photovoltaic technology are 30.4% [Rural Energy Agency April 2020].
READ MORERenewable mini-grids have emerged as efficient ways to assist balance power grids and serve transmission networks as well as distribution networks. For example, Smart meter data in Tanzania revealed that mini-grids achieve 98% reliability, compared with 47% for the national grid (IRENA, 2019 ).
