Bangladesh is an agriculture based country, where any edible and non-edible seeds can be grown. As a result biodiesel can be an effective solution to the increasing price and shortage of petroleum fuels. Every year Bangladesh imports about 5.5 million tons of different types of oil. Due to which Bangladesh has to pay a huge currency every year. Karanja, a sustainable source of biodiesel, can be cultivated...
The study focuses on off-grid appliance market in Bangladesh, which is expected to grow at a rapid pace in the upcoming years. Survey of upstream and downstream sales agents along with the off-grid appliance consumers have revealed many barriers for energy efficient appliances in the nascent market, including a gap in information and awareness on energy efficient products with a need for enabling...
In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is used to predict the monthly solar energy potential in Bangladesh. Used data are taken from NASA database for the past 22 years average from 1983 to 2005 and eight divisional cities are considered in this study. A multi-layered feed forward ANN model of four layers with eight independent input variables i.e. average temperature, sunshine duration,...
PGEL is the only utility company in the country operating as a solar mini grid service provider for five years. Its pioneering experience has become a learning platform for other private investors, financing and development agencies, in addition to the policy makers. Some of the national clean energy policy decisions for off-grid rural electrification business models are being made using the experience...
This paper presents a study of the power and energy consumption patterns in off-grid rural areas as learned from the 100kWp Purobi Green Energy Ltd. solar minigrid that has been operating in the Enam Nahar Bazar, Sandwip, Bangladesh for about 5 years. The study reveals the critical applications of energy in the rural areas are for the lighting, fan, refrigeration, communication, and medical purposes...
Fossil fuel energy resources are unsustainable. World reserves are gradually depleting and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their use are contributing to global warming. Therefore, there are vigorous research initiatives all aimed at developing alternative fuel resources that are both sustainable and carbon neutral. Based on contemporary research, third generation biofuels derived from...
Implementation of wind turbines has been expanded fundamentally on account of its accessibility and simple and easy generation techniques all around the globe. In the interim in Bangladesh wind energy conversion techniques are exceptionally late idea contrasted with other renewable energy conversion techniques but then in numerous spots research are going on to study and investigate the wind speed...
Electricity access is a key driver for developing a modern society. The use of locally generated renewable energy can overcome limitations of expensive grid infrastructure. However, there are still barriers to access particularly for the rural poor in the global south. When individuals or communities invest in electricity provision it is important to know how well the system is performing. Commercial...
