Spotlight on the Decentralised Electricity Solutions Division Activities
efforts aim to improve the reliability and hence uptake of electricity services, as well as enhancing their cost-effectiveness. In fact, one of the international studies has shared this perspective in the context of limited success of renewable energy programmes.4
are implemented on the basis of broad administrative criteria, such as providing rural people with access to electricity, rather than more specific outcomes, such as increasing the user’s capacities to generate income or increasing the user’s opportunities for studying.4
TERI has been working on innovative service delivery models for rural electrification. Innovation in this context is understood as the process of improving or developing clean energy technologies and technological systems, then customising their delivery mechanisms to maximise the impact on the livelihoods of end-users. It implies that the innovation in the entire value chain of generation, implementation and utilisation of renewable/clean technologies should be brought in. The technology thus should not only be designed and integrated adequately, but should also be delivered through an effective service delivery model with active community involvement.
Such innovation encompasses activities ranging from research and development to demonstration, deployment and the study of the impact of electrification on rural livelihoods. The research agenda on this theme has two important factors. The first facet of innovation focuses on the use of the latest technological and scientific know-how in designing, developing, customising and testing technologies to meet the specific end-use applications of rural communities in a reliable and cost-effective manner. The second focuses on how communities associate themselves
Accordingly, the programmes
with the newly introduced technologies, accept/enhance the uptake of energy services for socioeconomic benefits and transition towards sustainable development practices. One such project has already been designed and demonstrated in the north-eastern part of India, where a solar multi-utility centre has been made operational to provide electricity services for a selected set of livelihood activities on a payment basis to the village community. The centre is managed and operated by a village council.
In yet another activity, DES tested the hypothesis that the enhanced availability of electricity through distributed generation can provide a sustainable service delivery model for rural electricity supply for the enhanced economic benefits of such areas. This hypothesis includes such activities being coupled with better service delivery arrangements and robust commercial arrangements achieved through appropriate public–private partnerships. Extensive field-based research in two Indian states (Haryana and Maharashtra), coupled with stakeholder interactions with electricity distribution utilities, project developers, consumer groups, state and central government officials, has led to some new institutional models for setting up biomass- and hydro-based distributed generation projects.5
The institutional aspects, development and demonstration of business models for rural electricity supply has also been looked at in a collaborative research project. Here a suite of alternate business solutions and corresponding institutional and regulatory frameworks for rural electricity supply are being investigated.6
Simultaneously, DES developed the Community Operations Manual and the monitoring and
The World Leader in Heavy Duty Tower Cranes
K10000, USA Max load: 240T at 44m Tip load: 120T at 82m
K5000, South Korea Max load: 100T at 50m Tip load: 50T at 90m Krøll has been designing and manufacturing quality tower cranes for more than 50 years.
In 1978 Krøll designed and manufactured the world’s largest tower crane, the K10000, which was used for the construction of nuclear power plants.
Since then, Krøll has specialised in heavy duty tower cranes and is today the world leader in this field, delivering cranes worldwide for heavy construction, power plants, shipyards and other specialised areas.
