This session is part of the Clean Energy Regulators Initiative Webinar Programme.
Theme 9 - Energy Access
Module 3: Integrated Rural Electrification
Not all energy supply solutions fit energy access needs, and supply is less than half of the equation. This session explains how market segmentation can target the right solutions to the right end users based on resources, geography, density, and demand. It encourages participants to assess how delivery of one energy service may facilitate delivery of complementary energy services for adjacent markets. The session also highlights the importance of cooperation in the planning stages and underlines the value of facilitating efficient and productive uses of electricity.
Rural Electrification is something which we all should strive for.
While we busy surfing net and using computers there people who are yet to get an electic connection to their households.
We should understand how important it is to save electricity so that more electrification is done especially in rural areas.

Feasibility Study on Battery Energy Storage System for Mini gridijtsrd
Mini grids defined as a set of electricity generators and battery energy storage system is connected between the load side and the source side. A key feature of mini grids is that they can operate autonomously with no connection to a centralized grid. Gaw Cho village, Sagaing Division, Myanmar is selected because of the higher potential of solar energy. This paper presents the unbalance condition between the load side and the source side because the solar energy is changing under weather condition. Diesel generator is used as a backup system for this proposed area but the operation of the fuel cost increased for long term period. Here, battery energy storage system is used as a secondary supplier to balance between them. This paper focus on to used HOMER software for pointing out the result outcome not be oversizing the system requirement. Using real time data, storage characteristics and HOMER simulations, optimal sizing for both approaches were established.

This paper investigates the prospects and cost-effectiveness of implementation of standalone PV/wind system in sokoto state Nigeria. Daily electricity demand, yearly solar radiation and wind speed were applied to determine the optimum sizing of the renewable energy (RE) system. To design optimum RE with proper sizing of system components, meteorological data obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration were applied as input for this study. In Nigeria, sokoto is a region with solar radiation of 6kWh/m 2 /day and wind speed of 5m/s at 10m above height. Using the Homer optimization software, the optimum integrated RE system is 35.21kW PV, 3 x 25kW wind turbines, 12 x 24V lead acid battery and 17.44kW converter. The system has a total capital cost of $249910.24, the replacement cost of $82914.85 and maintenance cost of $53802.80 for 25 years. Though the initial capital cost is high but the long term benefits are enormous, considering the high cost of implementing rural electrification scheme, coupled with ahike in electricity tariff. There is also a payback period of 5 years. The results imply a standalone PV/wind system is feasible in rural communities of sokoto with 100% pollution free energy system.

They ensure i) inclusion of the rural customers in its governance, ii) appropriate technology that is sustainable and scalable, iii) training and customer support, iv) planning, measurement and evaluation of social impact and v) advocacy and local anchoring of the business.
Presentation for Rural Energy workshop 25 Jan 2011, the Hague, Netherlands, organised by FMO.
The challenge of rural energy access in developing countries is considered against the background of rural electrification in the Netherlands.
With a production of 1,006 Terawatt Hours (TWh), India is the fifth largest producer and consumer of electricity in the world. Over FY07-13, the production has expanded at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5 per cent.
Multiple drivers (industrial expansion, growing per-capita incomes) are leading to growth in power demand; this is set to continue in the coming years. Power consumption is estimated to increase from 821.2 TWh in 2013 to 1,433.2 TWh by 2022.
Power is one of the key sectors attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into India. Total FDI inflows in the sector has touched US$ 7.8 billion during April 2000-March 2013, accounting for 4 per cent of total FDI inflow in India. Major investments earmarked by public as well as private sector companies across the value chain.
The National Tariff Policy (2006) has ensured adequate return on investment to companies engaged in power generation, transmission and distribution and assured electricity to end-users at affordable and competitive rates. The government has also launched of Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) scheme through tariff-based competitive bidding. The Government of India targets capacity addition of 89 GW under the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012–17) and around 100 GW under the 13th Five-Year Plan (2017–22). Investments of around US$ 223.9 billion are planned for the power sector during the 12th Plan Five-Year Plan (2012-17).

Growth of Electricity Sector in India since 1947 to 2015Ashish Verma
The Central Electricty Authority (CEA) has relaesed documents on growth and development of electricty & power sector since 1947 to Year 2015.
Major highlights are
1. in 1947 ,the installed power capacity was 1.35 GW ,but now in year 2015 India has installed capacity of 267 GW.
1. The per capita consumption of Electricty has increase. The Country have 1010 kWh per capita of consumption where in 1947 the country had only 13-14 kWh per capita of consumotion .
Wire & Cable Preparation Tools- Power, Transmission & Distribution.
Ripley Utility Tool Cable Preparation Tools for Power Transmission & Distribution - Underground Cables & Overhead Lines
Ripley Utility Tools are cable preparation tools used to cable splice, cable joint and cable terminate low voltage (LV), high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) power, transmission and distribution cables. Cable preparation and cable jointing tools are suitable for both underground cable and overhead line applications - this includes 3.3kV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV, 132kV and 400kV cable preparation.
Ripley Utility Tools are designed to meet specific cable jointing, terminating and overhead line applications - this includes removal of cable insulation, semi-conductive screens, cable strippers, cable sheath jacket strippers and other cable materials to ensure uniform cable preparation of cable ends prior to cable jointing and cable terminating, both underground cables and overhead lines.
Importance of Cable Jointing, Splicing & Terminating Tools LV-HV
Cable joints, cable splices and cable terminations can fail prematurely whilst in service or during pressure testing - upon investigation the reasons for cable failures are usually determined as careless cable jointer workmanship in constructing the cable joint or cable termination. Some practises identified not only contributed to the failure of the cable joint or termination but also placed cable jointers and public at risk from injury from flashover.
Cable Jointer Errors & Reasons For Cable Joint Failures
* Non standard or poorly applied earthing arrangements
* Incorrect mixing of cable jointing resin
* Incorrect cable stripping dimensions being used
* Cable sheaths and insulation being scored or damaged
* Using incorrect cable jointing materials or lack of cable jointer tools
* Discarded waste materials such as shear off bolt heads left within the cable joint body or within shrink down insulation tubes.
According to the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the average per capita electricity consumption in India is about 704 kWh as compared to global world wide per capita consumption of 2,752 kWh. The Government of India is keen to increase per capita consumption of energy to raise living standards in the country. An average Indian consumes 0.53 tonnesof oil equivalent (TOE) of energy compared to the global average of 1.82 TOE.Higher economic growth is driving income growth, which in turn is driving up industrial investment and fuel consumption. In general, demand exceeds supply and there is a broad-based energy shortage, which is either met by imports or remains unmet.

Electricity in India: Developments, Issues, and Remedies
The term ‘Electricity’, right from its inception in the English language in 1600, has gone way ahead to become one of the indispensable needs of humans. There is no need to try for finding out the uses of electricity. On similar grounds, in India its very first public use begun in 1899 and now it has become backbone of the economy. But this emerging basic necessity of man is still scarce in our country.
India, being the world’s fifth largest power generating country, remains below the world average of per capita consumption. It is also facing an acute power shortage and many other adversities. To tackle these odds the government agencies are giving all their efforts. This presentation is based on a brief study of power scenario in India and deals with some of the major Developments, Issues, and Remedies.
The description involves snippets on development of various organizations with specific goals for improving the status of power sector; serious issues to be tackled facing our nation; remedial plans of these bodies and the role which we could play in supporting them.

Reverse Power Flow: How solar+batteries shift electric grid decision making f...John Farrell
For 100 years, most decisions about the U.S. electric grid have been made at the top by electric utilities, public regulators, and grid operators. That era has ended.
Small-scale solar has provided one-fifth of new power plant capacity in each of the last four quarters, and over 10 percent in the past five years. One in 5 new California customers of the nation’s largest residential solar company are adding energy storage to their solar arrays. Economic defection––when electricity customers produce most of their own electricity––is not only possible, but rapidly becoming cost-effective. As the flow of power on the grid has shifted one-way to two-way, so has the power to shape the electric grid’s future.

Uganda has the third largest off-grid solar market in the world, and the last two years realized a 25% growth rate in the off-grid solar industry for Uganda. Off-grid solar solutions clearly contribute to improving access to power, but how can it be recognized and supported as a mainstream solution to improving electrification, especially in the new Energy Policy?
Investigations into the lifetime of gas meter batteries in the NetherlandsMachiel Joosse
At 2020 there will be about seven million smart gas meters installed in the Netherlands, using batteries that are supposed to last for about 20 years. The long lifetime of the batteries is crucial, because an operation to replace them would be on a large scale and therefore expensive. Distribution System Operators (DSO’s) have to be able to rely on a lengthy lifetime. The Dutch DSO’s Netherlands (within Netbeheer Nederland), joined forces to carry out a unique study of the predicted and actual battery lifetime. In this study, batteries were examined from gas meters that had already been operating for 4-5 years. The results were promising: after 4-5 years: the actual (practical) lifetime of the batteries examined turned out to be in line with the predicted (theoretical) values.

Energy and mobility poverty: Will the Social Climate Fund be enough to delive...Leonardo ENERGY
Prior to the current soaring energy prices across Europe, the European Commission proposed, as part of the FitFor55 climate and energy package, the EU Social Climate Fund to mitigate the expected social impact of extending the EU ETS to transport and heating.
The report presented in this webinar provides an update of the European Energy Poverty Index, published for the first time in 2019, which shows the combined effect of energy and mobility poverty across Member States. Beyond the regular update of the index, the report provides analysis of the existing EU policy framework related to energy and transport poverty. France is used as a case study given the “yellow vest” movement, which was triggered by the proposed carbon tax on fuels.

Energy Sufficiency Indicators and Policies (Lea Gynther, Motiva)Leonardo ENERGY
This policy brief looks at questions ‘how to measure energy sufficiency’, ‘which policies and measures can be used to address energy sufficiency’ and ‘how they are used in Europe today’.
Energy sufficiency refers to a situation where everyone has access to the energy services they need, whilst the impacts of the energy system do not exceed environmental limits. The level of ambition needed to address energy sufficiency is higher than in the case of energy efficiency.
This is the 13th edition of the Odyssee-Mure on Energy Efficiency Academy, and number 519 in the Leonardo ENERGY series. The recording of the live presentation can be found on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEAdYbI0wDI&list=PLUFRNkTrB5O_V155aGXfZ4b3R0fvT7sKz

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

STATE OF EDH OPERATIONS IN
HAITI
• 25% capacity factor from EDH assets
• ~$0.35/kWh tariff
• Very high losses, low cost recovery:
• “EDH only brings in revenue for barely 20% of the electricity it put
out. The other 80% is covered by state subsidy…” (1/22/2013) [1]
• Official EDH numbers are more generous: ~50% losses; ~18%
technical/32% non-technical (November, 2006) [2]
• Varying reliability in most central grids, from 6
hrs/day to 20-24 hrs/day

22. MICROGRID COST STRUCTURE
• Household distribution is highly dense, so
marginal connection cost is small – very low
per-customer costs
• Partial recovery of per-customer fixed cost
through a fixed connection fee
• Not all revenue collected is through pay-as-
you-go.
• Larger customers make up ~30% of load
• Extremely reliable demand
• Some pay for electricity on monthly, post-pay basis.
• Some pay via PPA – long-term “bankable” contract for energy

STATE OF IPP OPERATIONS IN HAITI
• Despite high PPA rates, EDH is an unreliable off-taker:
• E-Power, backed by IFC, is newest IPP in Haiti. 30 MW HFO plant began
operations on January 13th, 2011. [1]
• “Delivery of energy interrupted for nearly 3 months because of lack of financial
resources to buy fuel needed to operate the [E-Power] plant, due to government
debt over 12 million representing 3 months in arrears.” (5/10/2013) [2]
• “…Electricity d’Haiti (EDH) can devote only 20% ($1 million) of its monthly
revenues to pay the suppliers. In addition, the public treasury provides a monthly
subsidy of $5 million, bringing the envelope to $6 million. However, the invoice of
the 3 providers is $12 million dollars monthly…due to the arrears, the E-power
company decided on June 19, 2013 to turn off its engines connected to the
network of Electricity d’Haiti.” (6/27/2013) [3]
• High cost of IPP generation: $0.15 - $0.16/kWh for
HFO; $0.22 - $0.26/kWh for LFO plants
