偏远的农村社区特别容易受到传统电力供应方法可靠性的影响，其中许多社区是后工业化社区，因此燃料贫乏。在本研究中，利用仿真模型研究了基于嵌入式太阳能和风能可再生能源新兴技术对偏远社区电力供应的潜在贡献。这些技术集中在光伏“板岩”屋顶覆盖物和微型垂直轴风力涡轮机上。提出了一种新的光伏供电模型，并将其与现有的风力发电能量建模方法相结合。这些供给侧模型与现有的整个村庄社区的家庭用电需求模型相匹配。结果表明，如果有多余的电力输出机制，超过40%的年电力需求可以依靠这些来源。然而，在缺乏剩余电力管理的情况下，这些资源只能满足每年8%的电力需求。
Remote rural communities are especially vulnerable to the reliability of conventional electricity supply methods and many of these communities are post-industrial and therefore suffer from fuel poverty. In this study, the potential contribution to electricity supply to a remote community based on emerging technologies for embedded solar and wind renewable energy, is investigated using simulation modelling. The technologies focus on photovoltaic “slate” roof coverings and micro-vertical-axis wind-turbines. A new model for photovoltaic energy-supply is developed and combined with an existing method for modelling wind-turbine energy. These supply-side models are matched to an existing model of domestic electricity-demand for a whole village community. Results show that in excess of 40% of annual electricity-demand can be relied upon from these sources, provided that a mechanism for surplus power export is available. In the absence of surplus power management, however, only 8% of the annual electricity demand could be met by these sources.
