Refugee Camps Hybrid Systems |
 BGET
is installing hybrid solar/diesel systems for powering common facility
computer rooms in the seven Karen refugee camps along the Thai
– Burma border. The project, funded by the UN High Commission on
Refugees (UNHCR), is implemented in conjunction with ZOA Refugee Care
and is integrated with BGET's overall solar / renewable energy training
program in the refugee camps.
Project Duration: July 2006 to July 2007
 |
The
budget covers activities in seven refugee camps: Tham Hin, Don Yang, Nu
Poe, Umphiem, Mae La, Mae La Oon and Mae La Ma Luang. The funding came
from UNHCR through ZOA projects. BGET is a sub-contractor to ZOA for
this specific projec |
 |
Each
of the seven refugee camps is already equipped with a diesel generator
and a computer room with as many as nine computers. The result will be
computer room power systems that consume far less diesel fuel than
currently used, in a fashion that can be expanded with further solar
panels in the future. |
 |
This
project involves surveying, designing, purchasing, expediting, and
supervising the installation of appropriate solar panels, inverters,
control equipment and wiring to augment the existing system. These
installation projects will be combined and become part of an overall
solar / renewable energy training program that BGET has initiated in
the refugee camps. |
