Abstract
This chapter provides an implementation of an integral methodology for the simulation of renewable energy scenarios applied to an isolated village situated in Democratic Republic of Congo. A specific area in Democratic Republic of Congo is selected as a case study in order to validate the methodology. In addition, this chapter includes the experimental validation of the HRES configuration, operating a scalable prototype in LabDER at UPV (Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain). Experimental tests conducted in the laboratory are described and main results and conclusions are discussed.
