Abstract:
The objective of the title project is to elaborate a concept for thesupply of electricity from renewable energy sources to non-electrified areas
in developing countries. Excellent examples of renewable energy application
in developing countries and bad examples (abbreviated EBEREAS) are selected
and described, according to a common format: Aureka AV-55 wind pumps in
India; Autonomous wind diesel system (AWDS) at Cape Verde Islands; Wind pump
project in Sri Lanka; LMW wind turbines in Mauretania; LMW wind battery
chargers in Uttar Pradesh, India; and Bergey 10 kW wind battery chargers in
West BenRal, India. The selection of the applications has been made based on
the following considerations: a lot of experience has been collected; a lot
of feed-back has been obtained; the selected projects cover a variety in
technology and application; involvement of Europe and The Netherlands in the
projects. Although not generating electricity, mechanical wind pumping
systems are included because they replace electrical pumps, and supply an
energy service to the users. 3 figs., 3 tabs., 36 refs.
