Abstract

In this work a micro grid concept for a village in the Himalayas is presented. The unique feature of these micro grids is that they use locally available resources, such as solar, wind, water stream and biomass for electricity generation. In order of estimate the current electricity consumption and future demand, door to door survey was done. Based on this survey the power consumption pattern for 24 hours was estimated. Using this power consumption and the available local energy resources the energy alloy for the village was estimated. The chosen village have different resources for power generation and we can opt for different configurations of the micro grid as well. The ideas presented in this paper will be useful for designing micro grids for remote locations in the developing world.
