dc.description.abstractMicrogrid (MG) is one of the practical and best concepts to provide energy access to rural communities, where electric grid extension is not techno-economically feasible. Since the trend of load consumption is not uniform with a low load factor in a rural area, the required rating of the system becomes very high. Similarly, the generation is fixed for these MGs, whereas the load increases continuously over time. Such a system faces supply deficit issues triggering a high number of interruptions that may cause frequent blackouts. Hence, rolling blackout and load clipping techniques are preferred during the peak load period in most of the rural MGs. These issues lead to an unreliable power supply and low satisfaction level of the user. This paper presents the load prioritization technique to guarantee the continuous supply for the essential loads within the rural community. A day-ahead energy allocation technique is mathematically formulated and optimized to maximize the total hours of energy served. This technique maximized the hours of energy served to the load with higher priority followed by the load with lower priorities. From this study, it is found that the proposed strategy helps to improve the hours of energy served in the overall system, by improving the state of charge (SoC) level of the battery system. The result shows that the user satisfaction level has been improved by 5% through 100% of continuity for the essential loads.de_CH
