<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Melkamu,<br>
<br>
Your reply is useful. There are some questions for
clarification. Please comment and confirm or correct the
following.<br>
<br>
1. You are primarily working on a Microgrid for a village. Is
the project about the grid of connections, or about the power
generation, or both? More details please. Size of village and
energy desired and what is currently available and what is the
desired usage of the power? etc. send details. And you have a
budget?<br>
<br>
2. You mention the gasifier stoves. You wrote;<br>
<blockquote type="cite">when i design the cooking part with solar
energy it is very costy cause for cooking only it needs 3kw
panel for each household . </blockquote>
USUALLY, the gasifier stoves (TLUDs mainly) are natural draft (ND)
and do not need any power. <br>
<br>
But there are (coming soon also) TLUDs with Fan Assistance (FA
also means Forced Air). But they need only about 3 watts (not
kW), which can be done via the Solar panels and battery backups.
The use of electricity for cooking (as in hot plates and
appliances) is not recommended.<br>
<br>
3. I work with the TLUD stoves (both ND and FA), and the
discussion about those stove is via the Stoves Listserv, that you
might consider joining if the stoves are the focus of your
project.<br>
<br>
We look forward to your reply.<br>
<br>
Note: until 19 Nov, my replies could be delayed. I am on a road
trip from IL to CA in the USA, including the Power Africa 2014
Conference in Golden Colorado on 13 - 14 Nov. <br>
Happy to meet with anyone during that trip and at the conference.<br>
<br>

<div>Dear paul<br>
</div>
<div>i am a power system engineering postgraduate student i am
try to do my thesis on Microgrid design for the model rural
village kollela in Ethiopia so i plan to design affordable
design for the village cause if it is affordable the
university will give me a fund and i will implement it or i
also work in the university and they told me that they will
give me a fund if it is a good design as they give me before
to implement the solar water pump that done on kollela
village with my adviser.As the village have high solar
radiation and wind speed it is better to use solar and wind
as a source of energy to electrify the village but for
cooking it is better to use gasifing stove. <br>
we done a solar water pump project with my adviser before
and he told me to design a Microgrid for that village to
help the villager get light and other facility so when i
design the cooking part with solar energy it is very costy
cause for cooking only it needs 3kw panel for each household
. they cant afford it and also we will not get that much
fund to support the village.<br>
after i done the design and the all thing the university
see the paper and give us a fund for it or we will find the
fund as we get for the water pump too .so i plan to get
good information regarding to gasifing stove.<br>

<div>Dear Melkamu,<br>
<br>
There are various people willing to assist you. It
would be very useful if you could provide more
information about yourself and your project. We do not
know your skill levels, access to equipment, budget, or
the size of your rural electrification project (or even
about you supply of biomass). <br>
<br>
Also, you said "gasfier stove" which can be quite
different from "gasifier", especially when you started
discussing electricity generation. <br>
<br>
Please reply to the Listserv so that the maximum number
of people can better understand you situation and your
needs. Then we can assist better.<br>

<div>Dear Everyone <br>
</div>
I am Melkamu from Ethiopia and i am doing a
project on rural electrification using solar ,wind
and biomass and i want to do a gasifier stove for
a household in rural village i read a lots of
paper done on gasifier stove is their any
recommendation that u told me before i start to
manufacturer the model .<br>
