    Can Solar Energy Be a Viable Alternative for Electricity Generation in Nepal?

    The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population, along with rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand of electricity continues to mount, especially in urban and commercial areas. The nation, however, has not been able to supply enough to meet its demand. This year itself the power cut roared up to 80 hours a week. The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) concedes that severity of load shedding will not diminish in the short term (refer to “Bartaman Load Shedding Lai Tat Kaal Samadhan Garni Upaya Haru Ko Sammandha Ma Sabai Pakchya Haru Ko Adhyan Gari Sujav Dina Jal Shrot Mantralaya Ko Nirnaya Anusar Gathit Samiti le Pesh Gare Ko Pratibedhan report originally available at - www.nea.org.np)…

    Pre-Feasibility of Light Rail Transit in Dhaka City

    ABSTRUCT: Dhaka, the capital, administrative and commercial hub of Bangladesh is subjected to acute traffic congestion, inadequate traffic management, high accident rates and increasing air pollution problems. The deteriorating traffic conditions are affecting the city's efficiency performance and are being considered as a major impediment for her economic growth and development, causing frustration among the residents and prompting popular demands to find urgent solutions. Dhaka Metropolitan Area is expected to become one of the largest cities within the early next century. The existing mass transit cannotfulfill the current traffic loads. The contributionof Bangladesh Railways (BR) to urban public transport is very small. The main inter City line entering the city from the north carries a small share of commuter traffic. The line to Narayanganj recently handed over to private management shows a greater efficiency in carrying huge back andforth commuter traffic. Rehabilitation and improvement of north main BR line and some new routes of rail transit can accommodate the growing trafficdemand in the near future. To cope with the problems of increasing transportation demand, traffic congestion, deteriorating environmental quality, and inadequate traffic safety measures Light Rail Transit (LRT) can be a feasible solution. LRT has been introduced in some developing cities on theground that it can offer a high capacity service with an appealing modernimage, less expensive than full subway system, and environmentally friendly.…

    Optical Fiber Project Ntc

    Background In the initial days, the backhaul of telecom equipments relied on microwave and satellite communication. The rapid proliferation of various telecom technologies and the desire to penetrate larger market segments resulted in high national and international traffic. The high cost of space segments for statellite communications and limited capacity of Microwave links compelled Nepal Telecom to embrace the optical fiber deployment to cater high volumes of traffic. Nepal Telecom being the incumbent operator also had the social responsibility of reducing the existing tariff. Consequently, the East West Optical Fiber (EWOF)SDH project became a milestone and left various positive impacts to transfer the life of Nepalese cities into a modern era of Information. Introduction As a part of 7th Telecom Development Project of Nepal Telecom, East West Optical Fibre SDH project laid Optical Fiber information superhighway along the East West highway from Bhadrapur in the East to Lamahi in the west, Kathmandu to Hetauda and from Kohalpur to Nepalgunj in the west, connecting most of the major cities of Nepal . This project is also taken as a symbol of cooperation between Governments of India and Nepal . Government of India had appointed Telecommunications Consultant India Limited (TCIL) as the executing agency of the project. The first phase of the project was signed in 12th Sep. 2002 between TCIL and NTC. The part of project worth Indian rupees 74.48 was funded by the Government of India at the same time Nepal Telecom invested Nepalese rupees 40 crores to provide the basic infrastructure to accommodate the network. The project was developed on Turn-Key basis. The procurement, delivery, installation, commissioning of SDH equipment, optical fiber cable, ducts and GI pipes had been carried by TCIL. The link between Kathmandu to Hetauda is Optical fiber composite overhead…

The interaction between the level and pattern of transport resources and the average level of living of the population of an area is a critical factor affecting economic and social progress. Rapid industrial urban revolution has lead to increase in the number of vehicles and consequent traffic congestion and increased number of accidents.…

    Trail Bridge in Nepal

    For any country to develop and prosper infrastructure is needed. And transport infrastructure is globally recognized as the must for development. Due to the physiological difficulties road transport is only the feasible and viable means of transportation in Nepal. Unfortunately, given the topography of Nepal, construction of road transport network in every part of the country is neither technically feasible nor economical. The only reliable means of transport for the hill and rural population is foot trails. Rivers and streams crisscross foot trails, which are approximately 6000 all around the country and hence, Trail bridges are needed. Trial bridges is a type of bridge, which provides uninterrupted transport access facilities to the people, pedestrian, animals, these bridges are constructed along the foot trails, which provides safe durable and comfortable means of river crossings to the people.…

    Rural Road Case Study

    Nepal is a mountainous country with area 147181 sq.km, population 26,494,504 (2011 census) & per capita nominal GDP $837 per year. About 81 % of total population lives in rural areas in this country. There are 53310 km rural roads in total in Nepal among them 38940 km earthen, 12513 km graveled and 1857 km blacktopped. Still, 368 VDCs (Village Development Committees: local institutions) among 3157 VDCs of Nepal aren't connected by roads. Among these roads, about 27% are all -weathered, additional 18% are fair weathered and remaining 55% impassable to vehicles due to the bad condition of the roads (DoLIDAR, DoLIDAR Bulletin Issue no 15, Volume No 13, August, 2016). Nepal is a disaster prone country. Therefore, a balanced approach to economic, social and environmental aspects is very important for the development of rural roads in this…

    hydro power

    Hydropower has been recognized as a sustainable source of energy with almost zero input cost. Its benefits are that it is none polluting in the sense that it releases no heat or noxious gases it has low operating and maintenance cost, its technology offer reliable and flexible operation and hydropower stations have increased efficiencies along with long life. Nepal’s huge potential in hydropower is still untapped. Though Nepal has not yet been able to tap even one percent of its potential electricity capacity and 60 % of Nepal’s population is still deprived of electricity. It is fascinating to note that Nepal’s start in 1911 in the hydropower generation almost dates back to a century. As a cheap renewable source of energy with negligible environments impacts, small hydropower has an important role to play in Nepal’s future energy supply. Accordingly, micro-hydro system is becoming increasingly popular as an energy source in rural Nepal. Use of environmental friendly technologies and implementation of sound legal and institutional issues are critical to improve the reach of the population to hydropower. To make plan targets in the power sector a reality directly more resources to the power projects focusing on rural population remains the pre-requisite. The major strategies of the power sector have been appropriately identified as promoting rural electrification with rural economic development programs and strengthening power infrastructure. The immense role of the power sector in contributing to the generation of broad based sustainable and high level of economic both on a regional and global basis makes if imperative that the programs and activities on power sector development as visualized in the plans and policies be given the utmost urgency priority and focus.…
