This week blueEnergy is preparing a second installation in a northern community called Kahkabila. Kahkabila is about 2 hours by boat from Bluefields, and is across the lagoon from Pearl Lagoon, the major city in the northern lagoon. This second hybrid energy installation aims to provide power to the heatlth center there, as the first installation is already providing energy to the local school.
My part in this work is twofold. First, I have been working with another volunteer, Marie, to produce a maintenance class for the local operators. This class aims to deliver an understanding of the needs of the system and the basic functionality of system components. It is a 5 day course consisting of 6 hours of instruction a day.
Secondly I will be participating in the installation of the turbine. This will be a 4 or 5 day process as the turbine, solar panel, battery bank and control panel all have to be constructed.
