Core problem: Sustainable use of energy from the available local energy resources

− Conventional practice: use of forest timber for fuel wood

− Resulted: Forest resource depletion+ natural disaster like landslides degrading soil quality y for agriculture.

− Uncertainty in available energy sources for the availability of the fuel wood

− So what could be the available resources for the fulfillment of energy supply at the household level?

The Project Area Description

− Covers 23 Community Forest User Groups (CFUGs) of 8 Village Development Committee (VDC).→ VDCs have an important role in the decision making of the villages

− 4200 households with average 5 family members(approx: 21000 people)

− Electricity availability is challenging

− Conventional wood stoves still widely in use for cooking

→ We have chosen energy issues as the main theme of this project work

Mechanism of working

Footer

LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS

− Village development committee (VDC)− CFUG plus working group− Group members+ people

Footer

Technologies used

− Solar power− Biogas+ biomass− Wind energy− Micro hydropower− ICS (Improved cooking stoves)

Footer

Solar Power

− Solar Photovoltaic− 1 panel about 5ft X 3 ft provides anywhere between 130 – 150 W peak− 1 bulb = 26 kWh per month− 1 refrigerator = 182kWh per month

− Solar thermal with biogas cogeneration

Wind Power

Advantages of Wind Power:− Reliable, Durable and simple to operate.− No consumable fuel required.− Wind, the only source.− Pollution free and therefore environment friendly.− Spare parts service readily available from 100W to 400W− Low operation and maintenance cost.− It is possible to get 120kWh of electricity/month with a single 6 kW wind

turbine.

Footer

Wind Power

Wind Site Selection− Identified potential wind sites through field surveys.− Enough space for installation of systems and potentiality of demonstration

effects − Village without electricity and no possibility of grid electricity connection for

coming 5 years

Type of off-grind hydro power in Nepal

− Mini-hydro (100 kW - 1MW)

o (5KW-100KW)− Pico-hydro (up to 5 KW) including water mill

− Micro hydro(5KW to 100 KW)

power required=4200*90=378 kW, assuming 90 watt/HH

Technology and added value

− Solar: electricity− Wind: electricity− Biogas: cooking and waste management− Micro hydro power: electricity− Waste burning: electricity and waste management

→ Money from selling electricity, micro grids?

− Some examples• Potential of wind: for a 3kW wind turbine it is 120 kW/ month• Solar : 1 panel about 5ft X 3 ft provides anywhere between 130 – 150 W

peak

→ Most likely a combination of different technologies will be the best!→ Good experiences from biogas and micro hydro plants

Footer

Biogas

− Feed used from kitchen waste, animal waste and human excreta(optional)− Only CDM project in Nepal− Sufficient production of gas for a family of 5 .

Footer

Improved Cooking Stove

− Less smoke production

− Consumes less wood

− Reduce women work load

− Improve indoor environment and Health

Kiitos !! Thank you !!
