ISABET: Integrated Solar And BioEnergy Technology for electricity supply in Nigeria.

在这个项目中，我们将整合两种成熟的技术（太阳能光伏发电和废弃生物质生物消化产生的生物甲烷），创建一个24小时全天候供电的微电网，以解决尼日利亚严重缺乏能源的问题。此外，我们将进行市场分析，并为项目成果的可行和负担得起的部署以及未来在项目之外的扩展制定商业计划。由于阿莫孙村平均每天的电力供应不足6小时（尼日利亚各地都是如此），我们在增加电力供应方面的贡献意味着家庭和商业消费者每年可以节省约140亿美元，用于为14gw的小型柴油和汽油发电机组供电。此外，我们的废物转化能源厌氧消化系统将有助于处理食物和农业废物，否则将污染环境，转化为清洁的可再生能源（24小时），为100万名贸易商和居民提供能源。通过进行初步的社会经济评估，我们将了解潜在最终用户的负担能力和ISABET能源平台的可行性。我们将利用ISABET系统固有的废物转化为能源的方法来匹配尼日利亚人的负担能力。智能微电网的实施使我们能够准确地测量ISABET的负荷和发电能力，并有效地规划向邻近社区的扩展。我们将与当地和国家的利益相关者合作，确保参与并分享项目成果，以改善尼日利亚的能源政策。使用生物甲烷作为汽油的替代品有望改善当地的空气质量，减少氮氧化物和颗粒物。我们将减少尼日利亚对高污染柴油和汽油发电机的依赖。用太阳能发电代替化石燃料发电，我们可以显著减少温室气体排放，尤其是二氧化碳。我们的利益相关者和社区参与（研讨会、社交媒体和传单）将提高环境意识，并促使最终用户在日常生活的其他方面更有效地利用资源。伊莎贝特系统的可靠电力供应将改善街道和社区照明，从而增强阿莫孙村的安全。通过提高生产力和盈利能力，商人和居民（特别是妇女）将能够改善家中食物的质量和数量，从而对人民的总体健康和福祉产生积极影响。

In this project, we will integrate of 2 well-established technologies (solar photovoltaic power and biomethane from biodigestion of waste biomass) to create a 24 hours all-weather electricity supply microgrid that will tackle the colossal lack of access to energy in Nigeria. Also, we will conduct a market analysis and develop a business plan for the viable and affordable deployment of the project outcome and for future scale-up beyond the project.With an average of <6hrs/day of electricity supply in Amosun village (same across Nigeria), our contribution to increasing the supply of electricity means that domestic and commercial consumers can save an estimated $14 billion/year used to power 14 GW of small-scale diesel and petrol generating sets. Furthermore, our waste-to-energy anaerobic digestion system will help to process food and agricultural waste that will otherwise pollute the environment, into clean renewable energy (24hrs) for \>10,000 traders and residence.By performing initial socio-economic appraisal, we will access the affordability of potential end-users and the viability of the ISABET energy platform. We will leverage on the intrinsic waste-to-energy approach of the ISABET system to match the affordability of Nigerians. The implementation of a smart microgrid allows us to accurately measure loading and generation capacity of ISABET and to effectively plan for expansion into neighbouring communities. We will engage with local and national stakeholders to ensure buy-in and share outcomes from the project to improve energy policy in Nigeria.The use of biomethane as an alternative to gasoil is expected to improve local air quality, with regards to NOx and particulate matter. We will reduce Nigeria's dependence on highly polluting diesel and petrol powered electricity generators. By generating electricity with solar power instead of fossil fuels, we can dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2).Our stakeholders and community engagement (workshops, social media, and flyers) will increase environmental awareness and prompt end-users to be more resource efficient in other parts of their daily life. Reliable electricity supply from the ISABET system will improved street and community lighting which will enhance security in Amosun village. By increasing the productivity and profitability, traders and residence (particularly women) will be able to improve the quality and quantity of food in the homes with positive impact on the general health and well-being of people.
