Getting Closer : Battery-powered Electric Cooker
For quite some time, I have been advocating mass-adoption of Battery Powered Electric Cooker to replace LPG ( gas cylinder ) powered Gas Stove
My main arguments are :
# Less air pollution > cleaner indoor air > fewer premature deaths
# Substitute Cow-dung / wood fired domestic Chulahs in rural areas
# Annual foreign exchange saving of Rs 70,000 cr , needed for LPG imports
My detailed suggestion can be viewed at following email sent to our Cabinet Ministers :
Ø A Battery Swapping Policy for Battery-Powered Solar Cookers ? ………..[ 25 March 2022 ]
Dear Shri R K Singhji { Miister – MNRE }:
I urge you to get a panel of technical experts to examine / evaluate the suitability of the innovative BATTERIES
described below, for pairing with Electric Stoves and to replace LPG + Gas Stoves – especially the Power-Blox's
PBX-200 , which can be charged by a portable solar panels
Implementation of this innovative technology will simultaneously solve the following problems :
# India is currently facing a huge power shortage . To overcome this shortage, coal-based power plants are
being revived with a vengeance. Whereas everyone agrees that we have no IMMEDIATE alternative to fossil
fuel, in the long term this will make matters worse as far as our CARBON REDUCTION targets are
concerned
# Due to prolonged war in Ukraine, international prices of all types of petroleum gases are rising rapidly.
Even if we succeed in sourcing LPG from mid-east, we will have to fork-out huge amount of foreign
exchange
With regards,

New solar boxes could expand clean energy to include the world’s poorest regions / IE / 10 May 2022
Extract :
Imagine being able to power your house with solar "energy cubes" that you can stack up like LEGO pieces to create a network of energy.
From a distance, Switzerland-based Power-Blox's PBX-200 looks like a cooler box you'd commonly see on a beach; however, that couldn't be further away from truth.
These "solar boxes" have batteries powered by portable solar panels, and just one of them can supply the majority of a home's energy demands.
This is a system that adapts to your needs since the solar boxes can expand, divide, and re-group.
To create energy for a community, the batteries in the blocks can merge to form an energy swarm, as the boxes can easily be plugged into another box.
Power-Blox technology is unique in that it combines the ease of use of a solar home system with the power of a mini-grid.
The PBX-200 series, like fish, may grow, split, and re-group, with the batteries combining to form an off-grid " energy swarm " with limitless application possibilities.
The PBX-200 system is made up of "intelligent" energy cubes with built-in batteries, which are available as both lead or lithium ion, and each cube generates 200 watts of alternating current.
They can be powered by a solar unit or any other external source like wind, hydrothermal, biomass, or a generator to supply the electricity needs of a household or small commercial business.
To put that into perspective, Tesla Powerwall, which is an integrated battery system that stores solar energy for backup protection, can provide up to 5 kW of continuous power with a storage capacity of 13.5 kWh.
However, it should be noted that Powerwall is fundamentally different from the Power-Blox in that Powerwalls do not contain swarm technology and must be installed by professionals.
Source: Power-Blox
One of the finest aspects of the PBX-200 system is that it does not require configuration, specialized knowledge, or maintenance. When the need for electricity increases, the PBX-200s are plugged in without interrupting the power supply within a few minutes.
Since the PBX-200 is a more adaptable and flexible system than mini-grids, it has enormous potential in some of the world’s poorest and most remote areas.
Since 2018, the firm has supplied over 2,000 power blocks in approximately 20 countries, providing the energy storage solution to dozens of communities in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and other humanitarian organizations.

Clean Tech Company GoSun Launches New GoSun Grid Cooking, Refrigeration, Water, / 10 May 2022
Extract :
Designed to maximize versatility and compatibility and unlike many other offerings, the GoSun Grid is an open
ecosystem: all of the appliances run on 12 volts, the most common port in the world.
Additionally, many of the appliances are also able to run on solar, grid power and via USB. During power
outages, the devices can be powered by solar and powerbanks
GoSun's most remarkable products are vacuum-insulated solar ovens that make meals from sunlight, as well
as being able to cook with any 12 volt battery. From backpack to BBQ, GoSun's solar cookers are available in
a range of sizes: the Go, original Sport, and the impressive 150-watt Fusion that can cook a meal for a
whole family
The GoSun Grid has a wide range of solar charging solutions that range in size to match your energy needs
