Research Station of Renewable Energy

SZABIST has started a new research and development program at Gharo in March 2002 and has established the “SZABIST Research Station of Renewable Energy”. The Research Station has been equipped with a Solar (Photovoltaic) unit, which powers the field office. Solar Cookers and Solar Geysers have also been introduced to make the office functional. Two wind turbines (windmills) have been installed with the technological help of the National Commission of Renewable Energy (NCRE). Converters have been installed to document round the clock data on wind intensity and direction. The turbines have been connected to a pumping station, which draws underground water for drinking purpose and plantation. The SZABIST Research Station is located on the 5000 acre SZABIST land at Gharo.
