Item People's participation in rural electrification -A successful case(2008) Kamalapur, G.D.; Yaragatti, R.Y.; Karajgi, S.B.Rural electrification is an integral component of poverty alleviation and rural growth of a nation. A developing nation, like India has 72.2 percent people living in rural areas. Still, electricity has not played an effective role in the socioeconomic growth of villages .The Government of India has an ambitious target of providing electricity to all villages by 2008 and all rural households by 2012. Steps are already initiated with Rural Electric Corporation, Rural Electricity Supply Technology Mission, State Electricity Boards led reforms, Reforms in Power Sector, Electricity Act 2003,etc. An attempt has been made in this paper to assess the present status of rural electrification in India and the major factors contributing to rural electrical distribution. Steps initiated by the Government of India through Rural Electric Corporation (REC) and a successful case study of the people's participation model is presented. © 2008 IEEE.Item Electrical energy conservation in India - Challenges and achievements(2009) Kamalapur, G.D.; Yaragatti, R.Y.The gap between electrical energy supply and demand is continuously increasing despite huge outlay for energy sector since independence. This gap between supply and demand of energy can be bridged with the help of energy conservation which is considered as a new source of energy and envinronmental friendly. The energy conservation is cost effective with a short pay back period and modest investment. There is a good scope of energy conservation in various sectors, viz domestic, industry, agriculture. The planners have already started appreciating the role and significance of energy conservation in future energy scenario of India. An attempt is made in this paper to acess the achievements and further challenges of electrical energy conservation in Indian context.Item Electrification in rural areas of India and consideration of SHS(2010) Kamalapur, G.D.; Yaragatti, U.R.Rural electrification is an integral component of poverty alleviation and rural growth of a nation. In India, electricity has not played effective role in the socio-economic growth of village. Government of India has ambitious target of providing electricity to all villages by 2008 and all rural households by 2012. Steps are initiated with Rural Electric Corporation, State Electricity Boards, Reforms in Power sector. Ever increasing demand of electrical energy is causing a large gap in generation and load demand. All the requirement of energy cannot be fully met with conventional grid supply so, an alternative energy source has to be found out for this purpose. Therefore it has become necessary to explore the applications of distributed energy sources which are inevitable to meet the energy requirements. An attempt has been made in this paper to assess the features of rural electrification in India and a simple cost comparison of Solar Home Systems (SHS) with grid supply in deep rural areas. ©2010 IEEE.Item Rural electrification in India and pre-sizing of solar home systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Kamalapur, G.D.; Yaragatti, R.Y.There is a wide gap between the demand and supply of electrical energy. Far away rural areas are having dispersed loads in nature and hence increased transmission and distribution losses. Thus increasing electrical demand drives the attention towards available and feasible choices of distributed generation. India being a tropical country, solar is the natural choice of sustainable alternative. An attempt has been made in this paper to assess the issues of rural electrification India and presizing of distributed solar generation. © 2014 IEEE.
