Power on: Electrification of Rural Health, Education & Tourism Facilities (Energy Science, Engineering, and Technology)

Electricity is an increasingly essential commodity in remote healthcare, education and tourism facilities. Recent improvements in the distribution of vaccines and other cold chain-dependent supplies, as well as the global push to deliver anti-retroviral drugs and services to HIV-positive patients world-wide, have introduced new demands for electricity in sites with little or no access to reliable electrical power. This book examines the challenging yet essential need to bring reliable energy to rural healthcare, education and tourism facilities across the globe.
