Photovoltaic Large Plant

A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, is a large-scale photovoltaic system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power into the electricity grid. They are differentiated from most building-mounted and other decentralised solar power applications because they supply power at the utility level, rather than to a local user or users. They are sometimes also referred to as solar farms or solar ranches, especially when sited in agricultural areas. The generic expression utility-scale solar is sometimes used to describe this type of project.

The solar power source is via photovoltaic modules that convert light directly to electricity. However, this differs from, and should not be confused with concentrated solar power, the other large-scale solar generation technology, which uses heat to drive a variety of conventional generator systems.

Wind Power

Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electricity. Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, uses no water, and uses little land. The net effects on the environment are far less problematic than those of nonrenewable power sources.

Wind farms consist of many individual wind turbines which are connected to the electric power transmission network. Onshore wind is an inexpensive source of electricity, competitive with or in many places cheaper than coal or gas plants. Offshore wind is steadier and stronger than on land, and offshore farms have less visual impact, but construction and maintenance costs are considerably higher. Small onshore wind farms can feed some energy into the grid or provide electricity to isolated off-grid locations.

Wind power gives variable power which is very consistent from year to year but which has significant variation over shorter time scales. It is therefore used in conjunction with other electric power sources to give a reliable supply. As the proportion of wind power in a region increases, a need to upgrade the grid, and a lowered ability to supplant conventional production can occur. Power management techniques such as having excess capacity, geographically distributed turbines, dispatchable backing sources, sufficient hydroelectric power, exporting and importing power to neighboring areas, using vehicle-to-grid strategies or reducing demand when wind production is low, can in many cases overcome these problems. In addition, weather forecasting permits the electricity network to be readied for the predictable variations in production that occur.


Waste to Energy

Waste-to-energy (WtE) is the process of generating energy in the form of electricity and/or heat from the primary treatment of waste. WtE is a form of energy recovery. Most WtE processes produce electricity and/or heat directly through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.There are a number of other new and emerging technologies that are able to produce energy from waste and other fuels without direct combustion. Many of these technologies have the potential to produce more electric power from the same amount of fuel than would be possible by direct combustion. This is mainly due to the separation of corrosive components (ash) from the converted fuel, thereby allowing higher combustion temperatures in e.g. boilers, gas turbines, internal combustion engines, fuel cells. Some are able to efficiently convert the energy into liquid or gaseous fuels:

Thermal technologies Gasification: produces combustible gas, hydrogen, synthetic fuels Thermal depolymerization: produces synthetic crude oil, which can be further refined Pyrolysis: produces combustible tar/biooil and chars Plasma arc gasification or plasma gasification process (PGP): produces rich syngas including hydrogen and carbon monoxide usable for fuel cells

Non-thermal technologies Anaerobic digestion: Biogas rich in methane Fermentation production: examples are ethanol, lactic acid, hydrogen Mechanical biological treatment (MBT)


Smart Waste Cycle

Problem like opportunity.

A lot of emerging countries, lives the problem of waste as an emergency to be solved giving it answers that can both create new forms of employment and improve the environmental conditions of different ecosystems.The introduction of waste separation could became a small form of support for many families, especially in the poorest communities: plastic, iron, copper and glass are collected through a door-to-door system, in order to be resold, recovered, recycled or processed.This is a potential resource to be used in a more rational way in order to give a higher dignity to this micro-economic business based on personal initiative.The creation of biogas plants and incinerators follows the principle to give waste a new life in the form of electrical or thermal energy to allocate to a direct use or to the management of other energy systems.

Management of wasteA proper waste management and the professional training of dedicated cooperative can create the necessary conditions so that the disposal and reprocessing of waste have “fuel” to work in order to generate electricity and heat:

. Inorganic wastes destined to incinerators . Organic waste destined to biogas plants . Mowing and pruning to be allocated to biomass cogeneration plants or to the mass production of mulches useful for agriculture

Energy Mix


Benefits of energy mix

Integrated systems for electric energy productionThis new generation of power plants is based on the energy mix from different energy sources. The main source is renewable energy, in particular solar PV, that can be combined with other systems based on natural sources, such as biogas, waste recovery, especially organic ones but also those to be allocated to last generation inorganic incinerators. Even CHP systems that use biomass (recovery from the processes of clearing and pruning from the power plant) may contribute to this system. In this sense it would start a virtuous circle where all the necessary resources for energy production are in the area, also fulfilling the task of storing and disposing of waste. The idea of a power plant combined with a central storage, differentiation, and transformation of waste introduces a new system of responsible use of land and its potential.

On-grid and off-grid energyThe energy, once produced, may be placed on the pre-existing electrical grid or stored in suitable storage container whose task is essentially to accumulate energy during the day, during the phase of maximum production, and release it during the night hours where the demand for energy supply is more important.Advanced electronic systems control and manage the flow of energy throughout the 24 hours and give you the opportunity, as well as to monitor the performance of the plant, to choose which “road” the electricity can take.

. Power Plant efficiencyThe PV systems can “converse” with the other electric and thermal energy production plants; in the second case the thermal energy produced (for example by a an incinerator) can be transformed into cooling energy and used for the cooling of the modules to order to increase their efficiency, especially in geographic areas where the intense irradiation may reduce the performance of the modules. The use of advanced electronic software contributes greatly to the achievement of this object, for example, highlighting and resolving the problems caused by the false peak production by standardizing the graphics and increasing the yield up to 50%.

Microgrid | Small Power Plant

A microgrid is a localized grouping of electricity generation, energy storage, and loads that normally operates connected to a traditional centralized grid (macrogrid). This single point of common coupling with the macrogrid can be disconnected. The microgrid can then function autonomously. Generation and loads in a microgrid are usually interconnected at low voltage and it can operate in DC, AC or the combination of both. According to the recent developments in renewable energy systems, storage systems, and the nature of newly emerging loads, there have been some researches for comparing the efficiency and performance of AC and DC microgrids. From the point of view of the grid operator, a connected microgrid can be controlled as if it were one entity.Microgrid generation resources can include stationary batteries, fuel cells, solar, wind, or other energy sources. The multiple dispersed generation sources and ability to isolate the microgrid from a larger network would provide highly reliable electric power. Produced heat from generation sources such as microturbines could be used for local process heating or space heating, allowing flexible trade off between the needs for heat and electric power.

- Small micro-grids covering 30–50 km radius- Small power stations of 5–10 MW to serve the micro-grids- Generate power locally to reduce dependence on long distance transmission lines and cut transmission losses.

GTM Research forecasts microgrid capacity in the United States will exceed 1.8 gigawatts by 2018.

CSR | Microgrid for communities

Microgeneration is the small-scale generation of heat and electric power by individuals, small businesses and communities to meet their own needs, as alternatives or supplements to traditional centralized grid-connected power. Although this may be motivated by practical considerations, such as unreliable grid power or long distance from the electrical grid, the term is mainly used currently for environmentally conscious approaches that aspire to zero or low-carbon footprints or cost reduction. It differs from micropower in that it is principally concerned with fixed power plants rather than for use with mobile devices

Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power installations.

The power plant

In addition to the electricity production plant (e.g. wind turbine and solar panel), infrastructure for energy storage and power conversion and a hook-up to the regular electricity grid is usually needed and/or foreseen. Although a hookup to the regular electricity grid is not essential, it helps to decrease costs by allowing financial recompensation schemes. In the developing world however, the start-up cost for this equipment is generally too high, thus leaving no choice but to opt for alternative set-ups.



Case History

Solar Kiosk Turns a Sleepy Kenyan Village Into An Urban Center.

Benson Rioba Africa Microgrid News

After decades of failed initiatives to extend electricity access, over 600 million people in Africa still do not have access to electricity. With current trends, it will take until 2080 for everyone in Africa to have access to electricity. However, solar products are now sweeping the continent with creative distribution and business models. One innovative model is the Solar Kiosk, which has become the center of at least one rural community.

The solar kiosk serves as a life line to many residents of Olekaramatian, providing essentials that were not there for a long time. Residents were forced to travel for kilometers in order to buy perishable essentials like cooking fat, bread and wheat flour. These perishable essentials were hardly found in shops around since there was no adequate refrigeration due to lack of power. Besides stocking essentials the shop kept wild animals at bay because of the lighting at night reduces human wildlife conflicts.The Kiosk operates 24-7, making it a favorite meeting point. This has slowly turned the area in to an urban center since it has generated many other businesses such as bicycle repairs, tire repair, and recreation sites. Aside from selling essentials, the solar kiosk also sells other solar products such as solar torch that are selling like hot cakes since many people use them at night for lack of alternative source of lighting.

CSR | Technology Incubator

The energy research incubator is dedicated to all the business ideas projected towards sustainable development for an eco-compatible human activities. For this reason, all the organizations that physically and virtually operate in this space, are toghether by a new vision of the future.

The Technology Incubator offers new opportunities for employment and economic development in International Cooperation projects.Europe wants to maintain its leading position and attractiveness in the global research landscape. Science and technology (S&T) play a key role for economic and social development and to solve major global societal challenges. Over the past two years, setting up an efficient and dynamic international cooperation in science and technology has risen towards the top of the EU agenda. This international dimension is considered to be an important component of the development of the European Research Area (ERA) and therefore of the EU capacity for innovation and competitiveness.As a key component to broaden the ERA, the Commission has adopted in September 2008 a Strategic European Framework for international cooperation in science and technology to underpin the new strategy based on a long-term partnership between the Member States and the European Community (EC). Until now, the EC has encouraged, and will continue to encourage, international cooperation through the 7th research framework programme (FP7) and its policy instruments: EC bilateral S&T agreements as well as bi-regional S&T agreements are important tools to promote the policy dialogue with partner third countries. However, FP7 represents only a small proportion of research in Europe.

CSR | Environmental Educational Project

Environmental educational projectEnvironmental education (EE) refers to organized efforts to teach about how natural environments function and, particularly, how human beings can manage their behavior and ecosystems in order to live sustainably. The term is often used to imply education within the school system, from primary to post-secondary. However, it is sometimes used more broadly to include all efforts to educate the public and other audiences, including print materials, websites, media campaigns, etc. Related disciplines include outdoor education and experiental education.Environmental education is a learning process that increases people’s knowledge and awareness about the environment and associated challenges, develops the necessary skills and expertise to address the challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivations, and commitments to make informed decisions and take responsible action (UNESCO, Tbilisi Declaration, 1978).

EE focuses on:. Awareness and sensitivity about the environment and environmental challenges. Knowledge and understanding about the environment and environmental challenges. Attitude concern for the environment and help to maintain environmental quality. Skills to mitigate the environmental problems. Participation for exercising existing knowledge and environmental related programs.

Environmental education has crossover with the disciplines of outdoor education and experiential education. Both disciplines complement environmental education yet have unique philosophies.

Outdoor educationmeans learning “in” and “for” the outdoors. It is a means of curriculum extension and enrichment through outdoor experiences.” (Hammerman, 1980, p. 33) Environmental education is often taught or enhanced through outdoor experiences.[11] The out of doors experience, while not strictly environmental in nature, often contain elements of teaching about the environment.

Experiential educationis a process through which a learner constructs knowledge, skill, and value from direct experiences” (AEE, 2002, p. 5) Experiential education can be viewed as both a process and method to deliver the ideas and skills associated with environmental education.While each of these disciplines have their own objectives, there are points where both disciplines overlap with the intentions and philosophy of environmental education.
