2014 World Cup Champion Project
The "Green Power" project of the 2014 World Cup host team from North China Electric Power University (NEPU) aims to help poor families in Inner Mongolia's pastoral areas go from having only two hours of electricity for lighting to having access to green, reliable, and safe electricity for living and production. The program aims to help poor families in Inner Mongolia's pastoral areas improve their lives from having only two hours of electricity for lighting to having green, reliable and safe electricity for living and production. In the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the herders' traditional way of life of burning kerosene lamps and cow and sheep dung for lighting and heating not only causes serious pollution to the environment, but also poses great safety hazards. The lack of electricity seriously affects the local education, medical care and employment level. For this reason, the team of North China Electric Power University independently developed a wind and solar complementary power generation system, and set up a company after the pilot and research, for the herdsmen's feedback on the power system to carry out technological innovation and equipment invention, to solve the low efficiency of power generation due to inclement weather and short life of the equipment and other problems, and introduced such as lawnmowers and pumps and other production equipment, to improve the local herdsmen's income and standard of living. After the university students popularized the use, the local herdsmen can now use electricity from the original 0.18 kWh/day to 6 kWh/day, which is 33 times higher, and the herdsmen can not only use electric lights and TVs, but also electric sheep shears and other equipments. The increase in the sale of the herders' other production products has also increased their income from 4,560 yuan to 18,000 yuan, an increase of nearly four times.
