There is a wide gap between the demand and supply of electrical energy. Far away rural areas are having dispersed loads in nature and hence increased transmission and distribution losses. Thus increasing electrical demand drives the attention towards available and feasible choices of distributed generation. India being a tropical country, solar is the natural choice of sustainable alternative. An...
Rural electrification, specifically in Africa and parts of Asia, is of major importance as it relates to development. This paper outlines how a cellular-enabled micro-inverter might facilitate access to electricity without depending on the standard power grid growth models. Using the infrastructure made available by the cellular phone industry, this device could be instrumental in developing rapid...
Photovoltaic (PV) lighting products are increasingly used to provide rural households in developing countries with clean and safe lighting. These households usually do not have access to electricity from a power grid and rely on either kerosene lamps or electricity from car batteries which are inefficiently charged at local charging stations. PV lighting products can deliver a higher quality of service...
A motor dynamo-based family pico-hydropower system called Hydro Home System (HHS), targeted to reach power demand at local level, is a rural electrification project. A self-sufficient system with a Pelton turbine directly coupled with motor dynamo, it is capable of continuously generating 100 W electricity using drinking water supply system, to charge a 12 V battery. A regular generation of electricity...
