Refrigeration of food and other perishable goods, such as vaccines and medicines, is a big challenge in off-grid areas of southern countries. Today, most off-grid refrigerators run on kerosene or diesel, causing GHG emissions and local air pollution. At the same, solar radiation tends to be high in climates that have great needs for cooling, thus, providing an ideal environment for solar powered cooling appliances.

In cooperation with its African partner (the company Palfridge in Swaziland) and the Technical University (TU) Dresden, GIZ works along the objectives of the SolarChill concept to develop out of Africa sustainable solutions bringing much needed affordable vaccine supply to regions without grid connection and affordable refrigeration solutions powered by renewable solar energy.

Numerous developing and emerging countries have ambitious plans for the development of renewable generation. Other countries show interest in renewable generation but corresponding plans are pending due to concerns relating to the consequences of fluctuating electricity generation. In both cases, the impact of renewable generation on system reliability and system security needs to be analysed in order to assess related risks and to propose mitigation measures for ensuring a secure and reliability power system operation in the presence of large penetration of renewable generation.
