Project GANESHA - Getting power Access to rural-Nepal through thermally cooled battery Energy storage for transport and Home Applications

GANESHA_项目侧重于开发、制造和实施一种创新的电池模块解决方案，为尼泊尔农村小型乘用车和离网低功耗家庭能源系统提供动力。我们将在尼泊尔两个不同的农村试验点建设太阳能发电设施，以实现边际/零电力接入。我们的联盟包括三个英国组织和两个尼泊尔组织，成立的目的是帮助尼泊尔电动汽车研究所（NEVI）实现其在尼泊尔范围内提供零碳公共交通/电力接入的雄心壮志，为其面临的商业挑战提供解决方案开发。nei建立于20世纪90年代中期，当时城市人口密度的增长导致城市内燃机（ICE）车辆注册量/污染呈指数级增长。NEVI是将尼泊尔ice人力车改装为电动汽车的先驱，并开发了为这些车辆提供动力的电池解决方案。它通过其可负担的模式向边缘化/低收入社区出租电池，以促进他们独立创收（60%的劳动力是女性）。尼泊尔农村/城市电网/配电的局限性限制了电动汽车在全国范围内的推广。NEVI被迫在电力需求低、停电风险最小化的夜间为电动人力车充电。有限的仓库空间和电网限制限制了电动人力车的数量，nei可以为每个地方的公共交通市场提供服务。NEVI希望利用太阳能为汽车电池组充电，并设想一种可移动的解决方案，类似于目前在印度和撒哈拉以南非洲销售的产品，将其服务扩展到最需要解决方案的农村社区（与最初的使命保持一致）。然而，目前的模块产品充值率很低，需要大量的资本投资。为了提供公共交通电动汽车车队，新能源汽车将需要大量的模块库存和高面积的太阳能阵列。我们的项目创新/案例研究网站解决了这个难题。一个新的模块将被设计、制造和动员，并结合帕克工程有限公司的坚固/轻量化热交换器技术。PAK的系统促进了高倍率充电和设计的多功能性，使PAK能够适应/优化其功能，以适应多种环境条件。_EPT有限公司将设计包含状态传感器/通信技术的模块，以优化模块功能，并在使用时跟踪位置。_ γ - meon有限公司将设计、调整和整合一个专门的支付系统平台，电动三轮车运营商和用户将使用该平台访问NEVI服务。我们的解决方案将减少上述资本投资要求，并在项目时间范围内向两个边际/零电力接入的农村社区推广。NEVI通过与尼泊尔著名的性别/社会平等先驱姐妹徒步旅行组织合作，将建造两个农村太阳能电池阵列，用于为我们的模块充电，为8-10辆适应当地条件的电动汽车供电，并提供用于照明和小型设备充电的家庭能源包，以改善这些地区的生活质量。

_Project GANESHA_ focusses on development, manufacture and implementation of an innovative battery module solution for powering Nepal rural-based small passenger vehicles and off-grid low-power home energy systems. Solar-power installations will be constructed to pilot our innovation in two seperate rural-Nepal pilot sites with marginal-/zero-power access.Our consortium including three-UK and two-Nepal organisations, was formed to assist solution-development for commercial challenges faced by the _Nepal Electric Vehicle Institute (NEVI)_ in achieving its ambition to provide Nepal-wide zero-carbon public-transport/power access. NEVI were established in the mid-1990s when growing urban-population densities led to exponential-increase in urban-internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle registrations/polluton. NEVI were pioneers in retrofitting Nepal-ICE-rickshaws to EV, and developing battery-solutions to power these vehicles. It rents batteries to marginalised-/low income-communities through its its affordable model, to facilitate their independant-income-generation (60% of its work-force being female).Limitations of Nepal's rural-/urban-location power grid/distribution restrict EV-rollout across the country. NEVI are forced to depot-recharge EV-rickshaws during night-periods when power-demand is low and risk of powercuts are minimised. Limited depot-space and grid-power restrictions limit EV-rickshaws numbers NEVI can provide each location's public-transport market. NEVI wish to access solar-power to charge vehicle battery packs and envision a removable solution simlar to products currently marketed in India and Sub-Saharan Africa to expand its service to rural-communities where solutions are most needed (aligning with its original mission). However, current module-products are recharged at low C-rates and require large capital-investment. To supply a public-transport EV-fleet NEVI would require large module-stocks and high-area solar-arrays. Our projects innovation/case study-sites resolve this dilemma.A new module will be designed, manufactured, and mobilised incorporating _PAK-Engineering Ltd's_ robust-/lightweight-heat exchanger technology. PAK's system facilitates high C-rate charging and design-versatility enabling PAK to adapt/optimise its function to suit multiple environmental-conditions. _EPT Ltd_ will design module-incorporated state-sensor/communications technology so module-function is optimised, and location tracked when in use. _Gamma-Meon Ltd_ will design, adapt and incorporate a specilised payment systems platform that EV-rickshaw operators and users will use to access NEVI services. Our solution will reduce mentioned-capital investment-requirments, and enable rollout to two rural-communities with marginal-/zero-power access in project-timescales.NEVI via partneship with Nepal-famed gender/social-equity pioneer _3 Sisters Trekking Group_ will construct two rural-solar arrays for charging our-modules, for powering 8-10 EV-vehicles adapted to location-conditions, and provide home-energy-kits for lighting and small-device charging for imroving life-quality in these locations.
