“…The human energy needs assessment could lead to the development of several generation/consumption scenarios, but in this paper, we concentrate on a central off-grid PPGP that is expected to meet continuous electric demands of 24 households, in a mini-estate. Different load profiles for remote applications are reported in [2,4,5,31,32], including those requiring continuous energy supply. Apart from the needs and the financial conditions of the users, the seasonal energy and demand variations could also influence the power utilization profiles of the users.…”

“…However, these estimates do not explain historical appliance diffusion or investigate the household-specific factors that arise from coordinated and independent ‘homely’ practices that a household performs. Recent studies that describe the growth of household appliances in urban India and China are also skewed by only using the demographic characteristic data (especially the household size), and not considering the effect of household-level drivers in appliance ownership decisions (Cabeza et al, 2014), (Bhattacharyya, 2015). Studies that examined the effect of income elasticity on appliance purchasing capability discussed heavily between the patterns of income and energy growth (Wolfram et al, 2012; Auffhammer and Wolfram, 2014).…”

How does slum rehabilitation influence appliance ownership? A structural model of non-income drivers

This study explores the effect of slum rehabilitation on appliance ownership and its implications on residential electricity demand. The low-income scenario makes it unique because the entire proposition is based on the importance of non-income drivers of appliance ownership that includes effects of changing the built environment (BE), household practices (HP) and appliances characteristics (AC). This study demonstrates quantitatively that non-income factors around energy practices influence appliance ownership, and therefore electricity consumption. The methodology consists of questionnaire design across the dimension of BE, HP and AC based on social practice theory, surveying of 1224 households and empirical analysis using covariance-based structural equation modelling. Results show that higher appliance ownership in the slum rehabilitation housing is due to change in household practice, built environment and affordability criteria of the appliances. Change in HP shifts necessary activities like cooking, washing and cleaning from outdoor to indoor spaces that positively and significantly influences higher appliance ownership. Poor BE conditions about indoor air quality, thermal comfort and hygiene; and product cost, discounts and ease of use of the appliances also triggers higher appliance ownership. The findings of this study can aid in designing better regulatory and energy efficiency policies for low-income settlements.

Associations of job-related hazards and personal factors with occupational injuries at continuous miner worksites in underground coal mines: a matched case-control study in Indian coal mine workers

A wide range of job-related hazards and personal factors may be associated with injury occurrences at continuous miner worksites but their role has been little documented. To address this issue, a case-control study in India was conducted to compare 135 workers with an injury during the previous 2-year period and 270 controls without injury during the previous 5-year period (two controls for each injured worker, matched on age and occupation). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using standardized questionnaire and analysed using conditional logistic regression models. We found that the injury occurrences were multifactorial and associated with hand tool-related hazards (adjusted odds ratio/ORa=3.69, p<0.01), working condition-related hazards (ORa=3.11, p<0.01), continuous miner-related hazards (ORa=1.95, p<0.05), and shuttle car-related hazards (ORa=6.95, p<0.001), along with big family size, no-formal education, and presence of disease (adjusted odds ratios varying between 2 to 4). Stratified analyses showed that among the 36-60 year-old workers, hand tool-related hazards, working condition-related hazards, and shuttle car-related hazards had significant ORa (6.62, 4.38 and 15.65, respectively with p<0.01,) while among the younger workers, only shuttle car-related hazards had significant ORa (4.25, p<0.05). These findings may help to understand the risk patterns of injuries and to implement appropriate prevention strategies.
