Introduction to Distributed Renewable Electricity Supply for Rural Areas - RUVIVAL Toolbox

This video introduces the viewer to Distributed Renewable Electricity Supply for Rural Areas and is part of the Toolbox of the e-learning project RUVIVAL on the HOOU website: https://www.hoou.de/projects/rural-en... Access to electricity is a key mechanism for the improvement of living standards and community services, for the reduction of poverty and enhancement of gender equality. However, in 2016, 14% of the world’s population still lived without electricity, mostly located in rural areas of developing countries. Off-grid and mini-grid systems are summarised under the term ‘distributed energy systems’ and provide a fast and cost efficient method for rural electrification. Applicable technologies include solar photovoltaics, wind power, small hydro power and energy from biomass. Those small-scale renewable energy systems offer significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts compared to fossil fuel energy generation. RUVIVAL - Sustainable Rural Development and highly productive New Towns is concerned with restoring degraded areas and creating new not just inhabitable, but liveable spaces. It is an e-learning project of the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) in cooperation with the Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
