Abstract: Over time, the Off-grid generation system has gained credibility as a reliable energy source, catering to the electricity needs of rural regions. By integrating various renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) and wind depending on resource accessibility, it can be further enhanced as a dependable energy solution. With the growing electricity demand in remote areas, conventional energy sources struggle to meet the 24/7 requirement. Considering this surge, renewable energy emerges as a viable alternative, capable of meeting the increased load demand. By harnessing available technologies, a constant power supply can be ensured, and among the cost-effective and reliable options, off-grid technology stands out. Through this approach, power generation becomes feasible in remote locations using solar photovoltaic cells or wind energy, depending on the resource availability in those specific areas. The state of Jharkhand has been selected as a case study to assess the feasibility, economic viability, and technical compatibility of this off-grid system.
