The system has four large mirror dishes, which reflect the sun's rays onto a header pipe containing water. As the rays are directed onto a single point, the heat transferred is very great, and creates steam from the water. Tripolia's CSP systems now create steam to sterilise all of the hospital's medical instruments, dressings, bedsheets and laundry, using the free and renewable energy of the sun.Locations:Asia-Bihar-IndiaDate:8 Jul, 2010Credit:© Harikrishna Katragadda / GreenpeaceMaximum size:2592px X 3872pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-Clouds-Day-Energy-Hospitals-KWCI (GPI)-Low angle view-Men-One person-Outdoors-Roofs-Silhouettes-Solar energyShoot:Decentralised Renewable Energy in BiharThe eastern state of Bihar is one of the most energy deprived regions in all of India. Government policy to distribute electricity through a centralised grid is failing to provide power to people in rural areas, and tens of millions of people have no access to electricity at all. If this traditional, fossil-fuel-based approach continues, the lack of energy access will soon become a bottleneck to Bihar's otherwise rapid development. This documentation includes various initiatives taken by local entrepreneurs who are successfully developing decentralized non-conventional energy production, using solar and discarded rice husk power systems.Related Collections:Decentralised Renewable Energy Report (All Photographers)
