发展中国家缺乏基本服务和经济机会的人民主要关心的是改善他们的生活条件。目前，发展中国家农村地区的失业问题正在使失业青年的道德价值观和社会责任多样化。为了解决这个问题，农村发展中心（包括职业培训、信息技术服务和其他生产性活动）可以为提高这些农村青年的地位作出重大贡献，并可以将他们转变为基层企业家。阻碍建立这种农村发展中心的一个关键因素是能否获得负担得起和可靠的能源服务。在这种背景下，无害环境的可再生能源系统可以为发展中国家未得到服务或服务不足的农村发展中心提供急需的能源，从而实现当地和全球的环境效益。本文表明，在可再生能源（如风能、太阳能光伏、太阳能热、生物质能和微型水力发电）的帮助下，发展中国家离网地区能源短缺、经济落后的社区可以通过农村发展中心获得一系列创收和社会进步的机会，从而提高他们的生活水平。农村地区的减轻贫穷是可以完成的，获得适当水平的能源服务、信息技术和现代通讯设施在其中所起的关键作用也显示出来。此外，可再生能源应用的生产、执行、操作和维持是劳力密集的，也将导致农村就业机会的增加，防止劳动力，特别是青年男子从农村地区移徙到过度拥挤的工业区。设计合理的可再生能源系统也可以通过不产生温室气体，在减少气候变化的影响方面发挥重要作用。ASME版权所有©2006
People in the developing countries who lack basic services and economic opportunities are primarily concerned with improving their living conditions. At present, unemployment problem in the rural areas of the developing countries are diversifying the moral values and social responsibilities of unemployed youth. To solve the problem, rural development centres (involving vocational training, IT services and other productive activities) can contribute significantly for the upliftment of these rural youths and can transform them into grass-root entrepreneurs. One critical factor hindering the establishment of such rural development centers is access to affordable and reliable energy services. Under this backdrop, environmentally benign renewable energy systems can contribute significantly in providing much needed energy in the unserved or underserved rural development centers in the developing countries to achieve both local and global environmental benefits. The paper demonstrates that energy deficient, economically backward communities in the off-grid areas of the developing countries, can be given an array of opportunities for income generation and social progress through rural development centers with the aid of renewable energy sources (such as wind, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal, biomass and micro-hydro), thereby improving their standard of living. Poverty alleviation in rural areas can be accomplished and the critical role of access to adequate level of energy services, Information Technology (IT) and modern communication facilities in it demonstrated. Furthermore, the production, implementation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy applications being labor-intensive, will also result in job growth in the village context, preventing migration of labor force, especially of young men, from rural areas to overcrowded industrial areas. An appropriately designed renewable energy systems can also have a significant role in reducing the impact of climate change through non production of green house gases.Copyright © 2006 by ASME
