解决尼日利亚电力部门面临的经济、技术和制度电气化挑战需要创新的见解，即分散的离网反向拍卖与太阳能和储能产品。然而，成功的拍卖需要细致的设计，并深入了解环境和数据访问，以了解采购容量、地点、成本和监管治理。结合GIS、能源系统优化和市场/监管设计专业知识，我们为尼日利亚电力行业填补这一知识空白做出了贡献。我们确定了没有电力接入的人口最多的消费者集群，进行了负荷需求预测，并确定了技术经济优化的光伏和电池储能规模，以实现高质量的电力供应，并进行了一些需求侧管理。此外，我们分析了土地需求/可用性，以获得233个集群的入围名单，其中720万人需要3280兆瓦的太阳能光伏发电用于拟议的拍卖。最后，我们讨论了使我们的设计适应现有市场/监管框架的途径。
Solving the hydra-headed economic, technical and institutional electrification challenges in the Nigeria Power sector requires innovative insights that decentralized offgrid reverse auction with solar power plus storage offers. However, running a successful auction requires a meticulous design with in-depth understanding of the environment and data access to provide insight on what capacity to procure, locations, costs and regulatory governance.Combining GIS, energy system optimization and market/regulation design expertise, we contribute to bridging this knowledge gap for the Nigeria Power sector. We identified the most populated consumer clusters without electricity access, made load demand projections and determined the techno-economically optimized PV plus battery storage sizes to achieve high quality power supply with some demand side management. Furthermore, we analysed the land requirements/availability to achieve a shortlist of 233 clusters with 7.2 million people that require 3280 MW solar PV for the proposed auction. Finally, we discussed the pathway to adapt our design to the existing market/regulatory framework.
