Decentralized Solar Hydrogen
DeSHI project led by Brunel University London in collaboration with Arktik Renewables & Energy Efficiency Pvt Ltd and Institute of Rural Management Anand (IRMA) will investigate the technoeconomic feasibility and societal impact of advanced solar photocatalytic hydrogen generators in rural India.
The following objectives have been identified:
- Development of deployment scenarios for DeSHI solar hydrogen technology in rural locations
- Collection of interfering parameters including competing technologies, energy demand profile, ambient and solar conditions
- Understanding and evaluating the impact of the technology and disseminate the outcomes and develop capacity
