Is a new electrical ecosystem needed and what could it offer?

Former Community Member

The migration from no electricity to plentiful, reliable, affordable electricity is not a smooth one.

This energy access staircase model is based on the Energy Access Tiers defined by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).

The 48VDC Realisation Forum exists to advocate filling this gap with an electrical ecosystem that is intermediate between the familiar 12VDC environment used in cars, caravans and boats and small Solar Home Systems, and 230VAC mains electricity.


Chris Moller shares his thoughts on why a new electrical ecosystem is needed in this blog. We want to hear from you! Read his blog and let us know your thoughts and ideas on 48VDC by commenting below.

    You may not be aware of  The 2020 Tracking SDG7 Report  which is relevant to this, including amongst much else some   up to date data on access to electricity and cooking facilities on a country by country basis, which make interesting reading.

    Page 7 suggests that burning wood and bottled gas are the two main cooking fuels of choice rurally and in towns respectively for what may be considered as developing countries,so maybe what is really needed is a better gas bottle - experiments with blending hydrogen or bioderived methane with fossil fuels for example - I agree there is a real engineering problem to solve, but it may be the solutions are mechanical and chemical as well as electrical.
