Remote Autonomous Energy Systems Project: Towards sustainability in developing countries

Throughout the world, but mostly in developing countries, there are presently regions where electricity supply is insufficient or non-existing. Innumerous authors affirm that this lack of access to electricity is a key factor in perpetuating poverty around the world and compromises the socio-economic progress of those places. Thus, improving energy access is a priority since 1.3 billion people around the world still lack access to electricity, 84% of them living in rural areas.
