| Abstract | This thesis is a study of the possibilities of applying renewable energy systems for the energy needs of the fish- farming village No. 12,
Tambol Bang Pla, Amphoe Bang Pli, Samut Prakarn Province by applying a general analytic method to the locally available renewable energy resources.
Seven criteria are used for matching the characteristics of the energy needs to available technologies. The energy systems are formed by combining the best matched technologies into four alternative energy systems. The system
sizing analysis for the climatically sensitive technologies, wind and photovoltaics, is based on monthly energy inputs integrated throughout the year.
The overall energy system analysis is based on the yearly energy balance.
The results suggest that the most suitable renewable energy system for the village is a combination · of·: mechanical wind machine for water pumping, photovoltaic generators and battery storage for lighting and .appliances,
producer gas engine for back-up system, Thai cl ay cooking stove for cooking. Methanol production from cellulosic material is found to be practically inappropriate for t he village. |
