High capital cost, low operating cost
20-25 yearsBattery replacement is required between
5-10 years
Widespread Low
Generator Sets
(Diesel/Gas)
Low capital costs, high operating cost (Price of Petrol is three times higher compare to
town area)
3-10 years Widespread Very low
Small Wind
Medium capital costs, low operating cost.
Most of CoERI ICT sites have less potential of wind power
plant.
10-15 years Site Specific Moderate
Micro-hydro
Low-medium capital costs, low operating costs
50-100 years Site Specific High
Battery Back-up System
Battery backup system can be used in a variety of other electricity resources such as hybrid with solar PV, small hydro, wind and generator set. UNIMAS has done the study on the Lithium Polymer type of battery hybrid with generator sets and it claimed that it can reduced the cost of operating up to 50% (Project Grant No. L18403/F02/00/JARIMAS)
