Remote Area Power Supply Systems Based On Hydrogen Energy In Ghana Technology

The aim of this project is to install a RAPS at three selected villages in the Western Region of Ghana which has a regional electricity access of approximately 84%. These three villages are Akrofi, Ewiadaso and Nyekonakpoe and are about 45 minutes’ drive from Takoradi, the capital of Western Region. A survey of these villages revealed that power is needed for basic activities like charging of phones, watching of television, lighting at classrooms, for businesses like cold storage of fish and farm produce, for the mechanization of local food production and many others.

The project will validate the use of redundant wind or solar energy to produce hydrogen, which in turn will power a facility when the wind or solar energy is not available (e.g., at night, or seasonal times of year). The system can operate locally, independently off the grid for environmentally friendly living.
