  1. Renewable Energy Systems in the Peruvian Amazon RegionThe RESPAR Project

  2. “Modern energy services are fundamental to economic, social, and political development and are essential in sustaining human life and improving human welfare.” G8 Renewable Energy Task Force 2001

  3. Diesel Generators While they have relatively low initial cost, diesel generators: • Have high operating cost • Expensive fuel • Frequent maintenance • Have noxious emissions

  4. Purpose of Peruvian RAPS Project • Upgrade diesel only systems to hybrid RAPS system providing 24-hour electricity. • Demonstrate in two villages in Amazon region • Replication • Cost~$2.7million

  5. Padre Cocha • 300 Households • Est. 300 kWh/day • 128 kW generator • Extensive craft industry

  6. ILZRO Background • Founded in 1958 • Membership—Miners and Metal Producers of Lead and Zinc • Manages research projects on behalf of members • Research limited to lead and zinc products and environmental issues

  7. Universities Private Labs Governments Funding Members Customers Governments ILZRO Contracts

  8. ILZRO Lead Acid Battery Research • Began in 1960’s • Predominately fundamental research throughout the 60’s, 70’s, & 80’s. • Installed 40 mWh Utility Battery in 1987 • ALABC formed in 1992

  9. Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium Goals • Increase life and reliability • Improve specific energy and power

  10. ILZRO/ALABC Expertise • Large Battery Systems • Design and material requirements to enhance performance • Charging
