Mini-grids are small size local grids that have a peak power capacity of 15-100 KW and can electrify 100-140 households, 50-60 shops, and some micro-enterprises with the use of storage facility. Mini-grids, inherent of it's property have the potential to electrify all of the rural areas in India since they are smal off-grid distribution networks and cheaper to install than coal based or thermal plants. They alo promote the usage of electricity for energy-based microenterprises like irrigation units, oil expellers, rice hullers, water treatment at the village and in turn benefit economic developement of rural sectors. In a country where 70% of the population lives in rural areas, mini-grids have far reaching effects.

Attached below is a article which explains one such initiative taken by Smart Power India (SPI), a subsidiary of US-based impact investor Rockefeller Foundation of developing renewable energy based mini-grids across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand, the largest such cluster in India. The potential and problems faced in mini-grid projects are discussed in this article along with the current state of such installations in India.

As the adoption of solar energy increases in developing countries due to its economic and utility value, there is an increased need for low cost and efficient storage systems to complement photovoltaic generation systems. These battery systems would have the potential to manage large-scale electricity generation fluctuations and grid balancing.

Here we will discuss one such ingenious storage system, Gravity based energy storage.

Here are some of the key points related to this technology:

1. Gravity-based solar energy storage uses electricity to lift mass to a higher elevation, thereby storing potential energy. Lowering its mass discharges the energy that can again be converted to electricity with a shorter response time and flexibility.

2. This was developed by two researchers from the School of Engineering and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom, and from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria.

3. This storage system can be used to provide electricity in the night time while storing electricity ftom solar energy in daytime. Their work has acheived an efficiency of 62% which still has scope for improvement.

4. Previously in 2019, MNRE had also issued invitations requesting proposals for developing gravity storage projects with solar photovoltaic systems for producing hydrogen from water.

A perovskite is any material with a crystal structure similar to the mineral called perovskite, which consists of calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3). For some time, perovskite materials has provided hopes towards producing inexpensive and ultra-efficient solar cells. Mentioned below are some points which describes in brief about perovskite solar cells and recent developments regarding its commerical production:

1.) The biggest issue with perovskite cells is long-term instability. This has been shown be due to degradation pathways involving external factors, such as water, light, and oxygen and also as a result of intrinsic instability, such as degradation upon heating, because of the properties of the material. In external environment, their life period is around a couple of minutes.

2.) Perovskites are synthetic, inexpensive materials which are relatively easier to produce in large quantities.

3.) Methylammonium lead halide is one of the commonly used perovskites in photovoltaics. They can be coated onto a flexible base to produce thin-film solar cells that are light and bendable.

4.) In an attempt to leave use of silicon for photovoltaic cells behind, Saule Technologies in Warsaw, developed an ink-jet printing process for manufacturing perovskite solar cells encased in a flexible plastic. A panel containing Saule’s cells is about a tenth as heavy as a silicon panel of the same size. The efficiency of these panels is around 10% compared to the 20% efficiency offered by silicon made panels.

5.) UK-based Oxford PV is incorporating perovskites into combination of perovskite-silicon cells in order to increase wavelength range of absorption in the visible spectrum of sunlight, allowing combination cells to reach higher efficiencies than silicon alone. They have reached an maximum efficiency of 29.5%.

6.) Oxford PV, Microquanta, and Saule all have mentioned that they've solved the stability issue for perovskite cells, at least well enough to sell their first products. Oxford and Microquanta have both passed the tests in the IEC 61215 series related to cell performance. Saule has also passed some of the tests, but is still working on others, like the humidity test. This news supports that perovskite cells can also compete with silicon cells in the stability domain which is usually 25 years.

You can refer to the article below for more detailed information on perovskite cells and related developments for its applications in Photovoltaic sector :

Bonnie Raitt once mentioned an interesting point: "Solar power is the last energy resource that isn't owned yet - nobody taxes the sun yet".

We can strongly relate this quote to the energy situation in Syria. Huge solar panels have been covering the fields and households in North-West Syria as replacement for diesel generators. North-West Syria has been held by rebels and jihadist forces. This has led to shortage and uncertainty in fuel prices, prompting farmers and hospitals to shift towards electricity generation from solar installation systems.

This has been a widely successful venture operated by residents in North-West Syria that the price per unit of solar electricity is significantly lower and regular than the state provided electricity.

We can learn form the above mentioned points that photovoltaic systems offer a surplus, constant (uniform) form of energy and are location independent (Sunlight falls uniformly on all regions of Syria contrary to the prices of diesel in those regions).

Please refer to this article for more details on Syria's adoption of solar: https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210704-rebel-held-syria-shifts-power-towards-solar
