Minigrids Rural Electrification Participatory Evaluation

项目摘要

The inclusion of energy access in the Sustainable Development Goals demonstrates how it is now widely accepted as an important factor in reducing poverty and improving livelihoods. Geospatial modelling by the International Energy Agency suggests that for people in rural areas, decentralised systems, such as minigrids and home systems are the most cost-effective for over 70 percent people without access International Energy Agency, 2017. Research shows that many rural electrification projects are not successful. Both social and technical reasons for failure have been identified Garcia and Bartolome, 2010 and so it is a problem that needs to be considered as a whole system.This thesis will investigate how both social and technical approaches can be used to evaluate minigrid systems for rural electrification in Tanzania. Whilst research has been completed in both of these areas, this has not taken a holistic approach - considering technical systems as part of a society. This research will use a participatory approach, with the communities and other stakeholders as partners in the research process. Research questionsDoes modelling and planning of rural minigrids in Tanzania adequately reflect how they are used within communities?What are the wider development impacts of minigrids in Tanzania?Research objectivesComplete research with a participatory approach, working with the communities and other stakeholders to design and implement the researchUse ethnographic methods to investigate community use and views on the minigrids, including the wider developmental benefits and disadvantagesAnalyse performance and usage data from the minigrid systemsUse technical and social data to evaluate minigrid planning, in the context of local policiesIn light of findings, compare options for improving the technical performance and the development impact of the minigrid, or for improving the inputs to the modelling of the system.

将能源获取纳入可持续发展目标表明，它现在已被广泛接受为减少贫困和改善生计的一个重要因素。国际能源署的地理空间模型表明，对于农村地区的人们来说，分散的系统，如迷你电网和家庭系统，对于70%以上无法访问的人来说是最具成本效益的。研究表明，许多农村电气化项目并不成功。失败的社会和技术原因已经确定加西亚和巴托洛梅，2010年，所以这是一个问题，需要考虑作为一个整体system.This论文将探讨如何同时使用社会和技术方法来评估微型电网系统在坦桑尼亚的农村电气化。虽然这两个领域的研究已经完成，但还没有采取全面的方法-将技术系统视为社会的一部分。这项研究将采用参与性办法，社区和其他利益攸关方将作为研究进程的伙伴。坦桑尼亚农村微型电网的建模和规划是否充分反映了它们在社区内的使用情况？微型电网在坦桑尼亚的广泛发展影响是什么？研究目标以参与式方法完成研究，与社区和其他利益相关者合作设计和实施研究使用人种学方法调查社区使用和对小型电网的看法，包括更广泛的发展效益和障碍分析小型电网系统的性能和使用数据在当地政策的背景下使用技术和社会数据评估小型电网规划根据调查结果，比较各种备选方案，以改进微型电网的技术性能和发展影响，或改进对系统建模的投入。
