Worked on the Increased Access to Electricity and Renewable Energy Production (IAEREP) where Seven (7) Feasibility Studies were done for Project demonstrate projects. My roles and responsibilities included:• Power Output Estimation: Using appropriate software estimate power/energy output for each solar mini-grid site• Site characteristics and constraints: Survey locations for sitting PV power plants. This includes checking orientation, slope, and potential shading issues• Assessment of Logistic Constraints: Equipment shipping, commissioning, and operations constraints• Prioritisation and Sites Recommendation• Investigate Demand Side Management options (use of energy saving devices, load limiting devices and consumer education so that energy inputs are minimized and cost savings maximized. This can be carried out with sensitivity to the consumer needs whilst preventing energy wastage and excess consumption• Assessment of willingness to pay. The consumers’ ability and willingness to pay for electricity will be assessed to consider the most adequate tariff structure and business model• Assessment of type of installations that best respond to the demands and land availability• Meet with involved stakeholders including Local authorities, utility representatives and local associations: Discuss power grid issues, development plans and other aspects relevant to the energy consumption of the sites• Development of a Scale-up plan
