Eco Villages
Eco Villages
Regional stability starts at the village level. C21V has the capabilities to develop stabilizing villages for areas of conflict, refugee camps, recovery from extreme poverty and agricultural and technical education and development villages.
Though site surveys are necessary to determine renewables mix for particular
village, plans will center around:
- VERTICAL AXIS or HORIZONTAL wind turbines with final selection based on village location.
- SOLAR PANELSfitted to domes or incorporated into the wind turbine structures.
- MICRO-HYDRO energy generation solutions to utilize suitable water sources to provide energy all year round – from Pelton to Poncelet wheels or Archimedes screw solutions depending on water source.
- Nickel iron BATTERY banks to store energy for night use. This proven technology is low maintenance with a life span of over 25 years.
- MICRO-GRIDcontrol systems that will connect and optimize the various renewable systems.
Our renewables team have designed and installed proven technologies adapted to suit specific situations where deployed capabilities have also included elementary and reliable battery controls and inverters (battery to mains) to work in harsh and remote environments.
