<br>
“Energy for Radio” is the unparalleled guide to energy
management<br>
for radio stations. In Africa and other parts of the world,
radio<br>
practitioners daily face the widespread lack of reliable
public energy<br>
supply. “Energy for Radio” supports managers and operators
as they<br>
tackle the energy issue at their station, helping to
understand the<br>
various sources and technologies of energy, especially
gensets, wind and<br>
hydro turbines, solar and hybrid systems.<br>
<br>
The guide is structured around five steps towards improving
energy<br>
management at a station: <br>
Step 1: Assess energy needs<br>
Step 2: Identify potential energy savings <br>
Step 3: Select appropriate energy system and technology –
both for<br>
energy generation and for energy storage and regulation <br>
Step 4: Plan for the long-term management of the system<br>
Step 5: Select and work with energy technology providers to
plan and<br>
install technology. <br>
<br>
Thus, the guide views all relevant aspects requiring
attention before<br>
“informed decisions” can be taken. It also includes case
studies<br>
describing the experiences of radio stations in Uganda,
Sudan, Tanzania,<br>
Haiti and Indonesia where renewable energy technologies have
been<br>
implemented. Worksheets and a list of key resources add to
the<br>
usefulness of the publication.<br>
<br>
The author: Michael Bycroft is a science journalist based in
the UK,<br>
with a special interest in green energy technologies and
climate<br>
change.<br>
