Dear Melkamu,
Your reply is useful. There are some questions for clarification.
Please comment and confirm or correct the following.
1. You are primarily working on a Microgrid for a village. Is the
project about the grid of connections, or about the power generation, or
both? More details please. Size of village and energy desired and
what is currently available and what is the desired usage of the
power? etc. send details. And you have a budget?
2. You mention the gasifier stoves. You wrote;
when i design the cooking part with solar energy it is very costy
cause for cooking only it needs 3kw panel for each household .
USUALLY, the gasifier stoves (TLUDs mainly) are natural draft (ND) and
do not need any power.
But there are (coming soon also) TLUDs with Fan Assistance (FA also
means Forced Air). But they need only about 3 watts (not kW), which
can be done via the Solar panels and battery backups. The use of
electricity for cooking (as in hot plates and appliances) is not
recommended.
3. I work with the TLUD stoves (both ND and FA), and the discussion
about those stove is via the Stoves Listserv, that you might consider
joining if the stoves are the focus of your project.
We look forward to your reply.
Note: until 19 Nov, my replies could be delayed. I am on a road trip
from IL to CA in the USA, including the Power Africa 2014 Conference in
Golden Colorado on 13 - 14 Nov.
Happy to meet with anyone during that trip and at the conference.

Dear paul
i am a power system engineering postgraduate student i am try to do my
thesis on Microgrid design for the model rural village kollela in
Ethiopia so i plan to design affordable design for the village cause
if it is affordable the university will give me a fund and i will
implement it or i also work in the university and they told me that
they will give me a fund if it is a good design as they give me before
to implement the solar water pump that done on kollela village with my
adviser.As the village have high solar radiation and wind speed it is
better to use solar and wind as a source of energy to electrify the
village but for cooking it is better to use gasifing stove.
we done a solar water pump project with my adviser before and he told
me to design a Microgrid for that village to help the villager get
light and other facility so when i design the cooking part with solar
energy it is very costy cause for cooking only it needs 3kw panel for
each household . they cant afford it and also we will not get that
much fund to support the village.
after i done the design and the all thing the university see the
paper and give us a fund for it or we will find the fund as we get for
the water pump too .so i plan to get good information regarding to
gasifing stove.

Dear Melkamu,
There are various people willing to assist you. It would be very
useful if you could provide more information about yourself and
your project. We do not know your skill levels, access to
equipment, budget, or the size of your rural electrification
project (or even about you supply of biomass).
Also, you said "gasfier stove" which can be quite different from
"gasifier", especially when you started discussing electricity
generation.
Please reply to the Listserv so that the maximum number of people
can better understand you situation and your needs. Then we can
assist better.

paper done on gasifier stove is their any recommendation that u
told me before i start to manufacturer the model .
