The Need

660,000 villages, 660 M people; 1kW/family = 165 GW •  Clean water, & environment; •  Education & Healthcare •  Connectivity & Transportation •  Agricultural & employment •  Entrepreneurship

The Aim

•  Total Energy Independence •  Transition to sustainable

development at technology leading edge

•  Strengthen cultural freedom, pride and traditional values.


OTHERS ON SIMILAR PATHS •  Government of India MNRE, Rural Electrification Corp. Ltd •  World Bank: Cookstoves, PV •  IEEE SmartVillage Initiative •  Gram Oorja (Maharashtra): •  IIT Madras (DC MicroGrids) •  Ekal Vidyalayas , Single Teacher Schools •  ... (list of 100s? 1000s?)

Why Is Our Effort Necessary? This morning over 300 million people woke up with no access to basic electric power.

What do we bring?

1. Education / Skills Training / Corporate / R&D / Retail Business networking 2. NGO / CSR tied to vendor/installer/trainer/local enterprise. 3.  Integrated roadmap to energy independence.

THINGS THAT SURPRISE ME


First 250W Installation Tuesday 2/28/2017 Single Teacher School at Mel Maduramangalam, 631553, SriPerambudur Taluk, Kancheepuram Dt., TN

•  “Have” grid connection; cellphone signal. No power. •  Public bus service; rail station 2km •  213 houses, 923 people, 157 hectares •  Water available, dubious quality •  Teacher works in govt school, STS evenings •  Villagers work in local factory; farms.

12.936521N,79.8058138E 22km SW. of SriPerumbudur 21 km NE of Kancheepuram


Present Plans

•  Localize manuals. •  Expand to 50 villages; data stream. •  Solar Technician certification. •  Remote areas •  Add biogas certification model •  Neighboring states

Internet Of Things Remote monitoring/ data/predictive maintenance

Intensified Solar Testbed

DC Microgrids

Logistics Model for on-site data & maintenance

Biogas CHP Testbed

Thermochemical Fuel

•  Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to grow skills & local jobs •  Small enterprises.

•  CSR already at work!!!

Indian Tribal Villagers and Technology Ownership

Ekal Vidyalaya performance, Berkmar High School, Lilburn, GA, March 12, 2017

Communicate in 3 languages. Thrill an audience with a choreographed music and dance performance, 10,000 miles from home on a cold evening on a 5000-mile road-trip.. Double as keyboard musicians / AV operators. What’s so tough about operating tech gizmos and following instructions?


SINGLE TEACHER SCHOOLS


What Do Students Learn? (interpretations are mine..)

•  Drama •  Computer Science •  & Mathematics •  Aerodynamics •  Advertising •  NewsCasting & •  Political Science •  Negotiation & •  Communication •  Poetry & Literature


Global Awareness Mathematics & Computer Science


THANK YOU!

PV-Biogas-Thermchem-H2-Clean Water

•  Solar PhotoVoltaic easiest to install, but expensive. •  Actual ability to use and store are huge issues. •  Compressed gas/water turbines for storage? •  High temperature electrolysis; device charging. •  Biogas harder to maintain. Inconsistent quality for generators •  Need small gas turbines – development/manufacture – 3D printing? •  Biogas route to sewage disposal: clean up groundwater as well. •  Ammonia with methane augmentation: reduced carbon footprint. •  Intensified solar: efficient power generation, thermochemical fuel, electrolysis w/ PV.

PV/Biogas/Biomethanation/Ammonia/Int.Solar/TC fuel/Electrolysis: •  Total energy independence, clean environment, clean air, clean water!! •  “We Can Do It!!!” ☺


Standardized Energy Solutions

•  200-250W Solar Photovoltaic System, Battery •  DC LED lighting, fans, power strip to charge devices •  Compressed air/pumped water / turbine power

Phase 1:

Phase 2: •  10kg Biogas heating/ cooking/ micro-turbine power generation •  Biogas/ammonia heat & power generation •  Biomethanation / groundwater cleanup

Phase 3: •  Intensified solar thermal •  Thermochemical fuel •  High-Temperature Electrolysis: hydrogen, fuel cells •  Vehicles as power generators


Skills to Employment to Entrepreneurship •  NGO/individual model limited to 1000 systems: End-users have no money! •  Need education to maintain systems. •  Skilled technicians need livelihood in villages. •  Villages need business growth for purchasing power.

BREAKOUT: NGOs – Skill Development – Business NGOs to ensure culture bridge to villagers; education; Skill Development CSR: Market Pull for Skill Development & Product Innovations CSR-NGO transition to local business, entrepreneurship.
