Alternative energy supply system to a rural village in Ethiopia

Abstract: Background: Most households in rural developing countries do not have access to modern energy supply. Household level biogas energy was considered as an option but failed due to lack of sufficient resources for its installation and operation. A community energy system can be an option, but most studies focused on off-grid electricity. This energy system cannot be a realistic option particularly for cooking demand. An efficient and suitable system matching local resources and demand expectation needs to be deve… Show more

“…Fuelwood is the most dominant source of energy in Ethiopia and is used significantly in both rural and urban com-munities for cooking and many other heating applications [6]. Thus, in many developing countries over the world, wood fuel will continue to be the main cooking energy in the rural households in the future [7].…”

“…However, we could meet the global power demand with renewable-bioenergy cogeneration-based hybrid microgrids (hμGs) including all possible biorenewable harnessing techniques to reduce/reuse the garbage and produce green power. 1 It could be possible by motivating or providing facilities to each village/community to generate their own power requirement with wind/solar-bioenergy cogeneration-based hμG. Some programmes are initiated by the Government of India towards promoting renewable/biopower cogeneration.…”
