Small solar home systems (SHS) have emerged as potential alternatives to grid electrifications, enabling households to make modest investments into their power systems, and to modify those systems according to their changing economic circumstances and power demands. Study shows that introduction to basic electricity access temporally stimulates increasing power demands in rural households, leading to eventual installations of larger systems that can power more electric appliances. Specifically, study shows that once households get access to basic electricity, they get to realise the socio-economic benefits of it and start to desire more appliances, with TV being the most desired appliance, followed by stereo systems, small fridges, and small cooling fans. These desires are realised temporally with increasing household incomes, leading to increasing loads, and thus to the modifications of the originally installed small SHS, to meet those increasing load demands; the desire for luxurious appliances leads to activities that contribute to increased household incomes, and thus to the modifications of the initial SHS. Acquisitions of luxury appliances lead to improvements in quality of life and to improved esteem visibility and social status within the local communities. Potentially, increasing load demands within a given community could lead to extensions of the national utility grid to those areas, as total loads justify such investments. SHS therefore potentially act as grid electrification stimulators, leading to eventual grid electrification of a given community.

太阳能家庭系统如何暂时刺激撒哈拉以南非洲农村家庭不断增长的电力需求

小型太阳能家庭系统(SHS)已成为电网电气化的潜在替代方案,使家庭可以对其电力系统进行适度的投资,并根据其不断变化的经济环境和电力需求对这些系统进行修改。研究表明,基本电力供应的引入会暂时刺激农村家庭的用电需求,最终导致安装可以为更多电器供电的更大系统。具体而言,研究表明,一旦家庭拥有基本电力,他们就会意识到基本电力的社会经济利益,并开始渴望购买更多电器,其中电视是最理想的电器,其次是立体声系统,小型冰箱和小型制冷设备。粉丝。这些愿望随着家庭收入的增加而暂时实现,导致增加的负荷,从而对最初安装的小型SHS进行修改,以满足那些不断增加的负荷需求;对奢侈电器的需求导致开展活动,这些活动有助于增加家庭收入,从而改变了最初的SHS。购置豪华家电可以改善生活质量,并提高当地社区的尊重度和社会地位。由于总负荷证明了这种投资的合理性,给定社区内日益增长的负荷需求可能导致国家公用事业网扩展到这些地区。因此,SHS可能充当电网电气化激励器,最终导致给定社区的电网电气化。满足那些不断增长的负载需求;对奢侈电器的渴望导致了有助于增加家庭收入的活动,从而改变了最初的SHS。购置豪华家电可以改善生活质量,并提高当地社区的尊重度和社会地位。由于总负荷证明了这种投资的合理性,给定社区内日益增长的负荷需求可能导致国家公用事业网扩展到这些地区。因此,SHS可能充当电网电气化激励器,最终导致给定社区的电网电气化。满足那些不断增长的负载需求;对奢侈电器的渴望导致了有助于增加家庭收入的活动,从而改变了最初的SHS。购置豪华家电可以改善生活质量,并提高当地社区的尊重度和社会地位。由于总负荷证明了这种投资的合理性,给定社区内日益增长的负荷需求可能导致国家公用事业网扩展到这些地区。因此,SHS可能充当电网电气化激励器,最终导致给定社区的电网电气化。购置豪华家电可以改善生活质量,并提高当地社区的尊重度和社会地位。由于总负荷证明了这种投资的合理性,给定社区内日益增长的负荷需求可能导致国家公用事业网扩展到这些地区。因此,SHS可能充当电网电气化激励器,最终导致给定社区的电网电气化。购置豪华家电可以改善生活质量,并提高当地社区的尊重度和社会地位。由于总负荷证明了这种投资的合理性,给定社区内日益增长的负荷需求可能导致国家公用事业网扩展到这些地区。因此,SHS可能充当电网电气化激励器,最终导致给定社区的电网电气化。
