He wants to see eolic energy a possibility for others than the big big companies that would install large parks.



Please contact me with javs@ieee.org instead, which is my permanent email address.

I am the organic seed of Grupo Millennium Hispaniola, which pretends to promote Dominicana and Haiti to become developed countries in this millennia. Most of the emphasis in the blog is on reliable electricity, which is the research that I am working on for quite some time. I firmly believe it is possible by differentiating electric service.

Demand Response and Energy Efficiency technologies with retail liberalization will eventually lead to replacing the regulator and the distributor as intermediaries. Customers in Dominican Republic can freely purchase individual solutions to supply security. By letting everyone by himself the country has created enourmous ineficiencies. I believe that the grid can serve "backwards" to integrate renewable energy investments. My latest presentation in Atlanta, Georgia, "Dominican Republic Electricity Risk: A Customer Orientation", can be download from the GMH blog.

Dolores has sugessted you to look at the three part "Small Is Beautiful" comments, in which I advocate for distributed wind development, instead of centralized solutions. Centralized solutions are second wave thinking; distributed resources are essential in the third wave, where electricity can be differentiated to enhance local reliability needs.

Last night I picked up some of the information of the Forum and placed it on the blog. I liked the comment on 100% reliable. That is part of my research findings. By thinking 99% and 100% we miss the essence of differentiation. Instead we should look a 0% and 1%. By doing so, we see that some customers want 2%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.1%, 0.05%, 0.01% or whichever one requires and is willing to pay for. Businesses with high interruption costs should pay for the kind of reliability that they want. Then, poor customers that have other priorities might be able to afford 3% reliability.

Anyone which feels can contribute to the aims of GMH is invited to become a member of GMH. Please email me to sent you an invitation.
