  2. 1. Off the grid

    Author : Mike Bode; Staffan Schmidt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; artistic research; visual concepts; situated image; dialogue; ecological and political engagement; off grid living; housing estate suburbia; travel; self-definition; community; institution; isomorphic; lived third space;

    Abstract : Off the grid is an artistic research thesis which puts a Swedish housing estate in a video interview dialogue with homeowners in the Northeastern US through focusing on three topics: travel, self-definition, and community. Based on the situated, visual and conceptual image the project merges seemingly incompatible experiences: eight residents in Husby, an immigrant community outside Stockholm, and eight households not connected to the utility grid, in upstate areas of New England and New York State – and two artistic researchers at University of Gothenburg.

  4. 2. Sustainability and development impacts of off-grid electrification in developing countries : An assessment of South Africa's rural electrification program

    Author : Chukwuma Leonard Azimoh; Björn Karlsson; Boaventura Cuamba; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Off-grid electrification; sustainability; solar home system; hybrid mini-grid; renewable energy; technical challenges; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

    Abstract : Previous studies have shown that provision of sustainable electricity supply to rural households is essential to bring development to off-grid populations. For this reason, most developing countries put large efforts into rural electrification programs to stimulate development and reduce poverty. READ MORE

  5. 3. Sustainability of rural energy access in developing countries
