It is, therefore, imperative for local communities in Libya to tap the 260 vast RE potential the country has and develop modular power supply via distributed renewable generation 261 as a NWA connected directly to load centers. In terms of energy sale, the study initially assumes 498 that the NWA system receives no incentive for injecting excess energy into the grid as this is the real case Considering the grid electricity price equals to 1.4 $¢/kWh (current tariff), inflation rate at 12%, diesel 506 fuel price in its lowest (11 $¢/L), and $0 for the price of energy sold back to the grid, it is found that the 507 optimum configuration is for the PV-grid without battery storage, referring to Fig. 11 . ./cache/cord-305429-8pm28fmd.txt ./txt/cord-305429-8pm28fmd.txt
