Demand of power supply is increasing now a days. Consumer requires a reliable and continued supply. Mini grid is very useful option for meeting an increased demand of supply. Small and remote villages are more electrified by mini grid. Pollution in environment and cost of conventional sources increase day by day, so we are moving to the non-conventional sources like wind, sun, geothermal, biomass, etc. These sources are more economical and easily available at remote areas. Here, PV cells are used for source of energy. In this paper, mini grid is compared with other electrifications systems, basic elements, challenges and opportunities. This paper discusses design methodology and analysed case study of PV based mini grid in ETAP software.
