Abstract
This paper presents an integrated dynamic pricing scheme (iDPS) developed for an off grid community in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). This proposed model employs a neighbourhood approach in effectively determining the electricity units due to connected consumers based on their monthly contributions. Assuming base values, this model obviates the need for real time inputs from the users owing to the high illiteracy level in SSA and dynamically computes electricity price in real time such that below par paying consumers pay more compared to base or above base consumers. Additionally, the smart load distribution board employed ensures that electricity units are dispatched in quantized values demanding greater energy efficiency from the consumers. This model achieves economic accrual which guarantees the sustainability of the off grid DG project.
