I'd like to understand and evaluate the experience and use of decentralized rural electrification initiatives in Indian villages especially solar PV based microgrids in rural India. I've chosen the study area and i'm in the process of planning my field study. I'm not sure about how do i get the permission from the concerned authorities and proceed for the study. Any suggestions? Any advises? Thanks in anticipation
You must have study ID from institution/university where you are studying. Approach personally or through request letter to state level and division level govt electricity board/department officials to get data. Before that you select the method of collecting data with the help of youe guide and prefer questionnaire-schedule.
Thanks Uchendu and Dr. Arjun for your suggestions. I actually want to look at the real costs of running the power plants - O&M costs; replacement costs etc. So i'm really not sure if i'm going to get this data as this is generally considered as confidential. My main stakeholders, given my objective, seems to be project developers/implementers. So any specific advises?
Also i'd like to know what are the typical sizes of Decentralized Distributed Generation (DDG) Solar PV power plants that are implemented in different parts of India. From the literature i found that Sagar Island of Sunderbans have the highest capacity so far, of about 130 kw. Any higher capacity SPV DDG plants in India?
