    There are rural areas in Tanzania which still lack access to the national grid. One of such locations is Luxmanda village in Manyara region. This village gets its power from islanded renewable energies microgrid (MG) which is able to supply about 25.4 kW. However, this is way below the projected consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes connecting the islanded MG to the grid to supply enough power to the village for prosperity. The paper discusses the solar photovoltaic generation, wind generation and the DC grid. Steady state operating of the MG is established at 750 V DC.
