Fig. 6.1 depicts a schematic diagram for rural electrification, including wind, solar, and a battery energy storage system. The solar power in direct current (DC) is converted to alternating current (AC) by using a DC-to-AC converter, and the wind generation output is connected directly to the AC bus. The villagers receive AC power
