The document proposes a Hybrid Energy System (HES) to provide clean and economic energy to rural villages in India that currently have limited or unreliable electricity access. [1] The HES combines local renewable resources like biomass and solar with a small diesel generator. [2] It was designed for a village in Bihar with 500 houses and aims to make maximum use of cheap and available biomass while minimizing diesel use. [3] The technical feasibility and potential positive impacts on health, education, income and the environment are discussed.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
•The challenge is to design a system which can provide clean and
economic energy in the villages where electricity is either not available
or available for small duration in the 24 hours
•Study Area
The remote rural area for the study was Keyal village of district
Arwal of Bihar state, India. It is an unelectrified village. There are
500 houses having a Working population of around 2400.

3. PROPOSED IDEA
HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM

4. INNOVATION and NOVELTY OF THE IDEA
IN IDEA
A
• Concept of Using HES in planar areas is entirely new
B
• Minimum Use of Diesel
C
• Biomass is used with a greater efficiency
D
• It can be used with on grid as well as off grid system
Improve the living
Makes maximum use of
conditions of the
the cheapest fuel
population and their
available - biomass
health
It can be implemented
in any Rural area where
Minimal use of diesel agriculture is the main
occupation

5. POTENTIAL IMPACT
HEALTH
Education
Social life
Income generation Activity
Environment

6. FEASIBILITY OF THE IDEA ( TECHNICAL and COMMERCIAL)
•The technology to produce such System is working in few countries(including India).
•The system we have designed is easy to implement.
•Research into the components has gained momentum and is likely to continue, yielding better
results every year.
•We have Simulated the model and the result was near to the Theoretically calculated data.
•The per house charge of the installation cost (one time payment) will be around Rs.10000.00
•Monthly Payment per house is under Rs.200 which is not a big amount for the villagers.

8. CONCLUSIONS
We can conclude from above points that Hybrid Energy System is
a very viable idea and it is no longer a question of if but rather a
question of when……until then all we can do is put our efforts into
it.
