Renewable Energy Applications for Sustainable Development. Edition No. 1

Providing a reliable and sustainable power supply
with appropriate environmental considerations to
remote areas, especially in developing countries, is
the main aim of this research. There have been many
natural disasters in Indonesia, primarily the Aceh
Tsunami on Boxing Day 2004, and followed by many
others, such as the earthquake in Yogyakarta in
2006, the Padang earthquake in 2007, and earthquake
in Manokwari, Papua, in early 2009. Some other
disasters in other regions include: the Maldives, a
country formed by a group of natural atolls located
to the southwest of India, which was affected by the
Asia Tsunami 2004, the China earthquake in 2008 and
the cyclone in Burma in the same year. Such
catastrophes usually result in the affected areas
being isolated, particularly if the events happen in
remote locations. Most of these areas usually suffer
from destruction of their vital infrastructure, such
as power and water supplies. These occurrences
demonstrate the need for an appropriate and
environmentally-friendly solution to the lack of
power and water supplies in remote areas as part of
disaster response and reconstruction.
