After Myanmar attained independence in 1948, the government

established Electricity Supply Board in 1951.

One of the major electrification scheme was the construction of

hydroelectric facilities in Kayah State, as known as lawpita Project.

After the project was implemented, Myanmar was self-sufficient in

electricity at that time.

Subsequent increases in population from 16.8 million during pre-war

years to 35.3 million in 1983, the demand had outstripped supply.

Hydro Power


The ministry of Electric Power is responsible for electricity

generation, transmission and distribution for economic development

since 1997.

The ministry has the objective of supplying electricity via hydro

power sources.

This is due to the natural resource that Myanmar with many rivers has an annual water flow of 870 million acre feet which has potential for 40,000 MW of hydro power.

The projected additions from hydropower from 2010 to 2015 is approximately 2372 MW.

(Hydro Power) Potentials of Rural Village Electrification

Electrification with Hydro Power is the most familiar to Myanmar.

Village hydro power were moderately installed especially in the villages of

Shan State.

The hydro power was mostly generated by utilizing the stream water and

the dam type hydro power system.

Low head (VPR) vertical propeller turbine was used.

In case of high head, some kind of cross flow type turbine was used.


Hydropower Plants by Using Irrigation Water

Irrigation system was mainly constructed for water supplying to the agriculture farms in the past.

Mini hydro power plant is installed at the drop structure which has enough water head and flowing water rate to generate hydro power.

The required flow rate to operate turbine is a small as 01. ~ 0.5 m3/sec.

Propeller type turbine was selected for low head plant.

The working head is 1.0 ~ 2.0 meter.

The installed output per unit is 2 ~ 5 KW.

Except the armature all the parts of turbine & generator are fabricated locally.

(217) Irrigation projects have being constructed around the whole country, over (5.0 MW) can be generated.

Electrification by Wind Power

NEDO of Japan performed in 1997 a study on renewable energy potential

in GMS region and assessed that Myanmar has potentially available Wind

Energy of 360.1 TWh/year.

Promising areas to harness wind energy are in three regions, namely Hilly

Regions and Shan States, Coastal Regions in the South and Western part of

the Country and central part of Myanmar.

Due to the expensive initial cost, use of wind energy in Myanmar is at the

very initial stage.

Solar Power

Electricity from the sun is quite abundant in most of the countries to meet basic

electricity needs of a rural community.

Myanmar is a land of plentiful sunshine, especially in central and southern

regions of the country.

The geographical location of Myanmar is between latitude 958 N and 2829

N, longitude 9210 E and 10110 E.

The cooler, dry season lasts from November to April and the hotter, wet season

from May to October.

Sunshine is plentiful during the dry season average 7 to 10 hours a day.

During the rainy season, the weather is cloudier and daily sunshine amounts is

average only 3 to 4 hours a day.


Potential available Solar Energy of Myanmar is around 51973.8 Tera Wh/yr.

The following solar energy technologies can be successfully propagated.

- solar cookers

- solar heating system

- solar water pumping

- battery charging

- solar power generation

Use of solar energy is also in the very initial stage due to the expensive initial

cost.

Solar Power (Contd.)


The current application of Photovoltaic in Myanmar are:

1. Natha Myaing Village - 3.60 KW

2. VAST Station, Mogok - 1.80 KW

3. PV System for Computer (Hakha, Chin State) - 0.30 KW

4. PV System for Radio Telephone, Post & Telecommunications - 3 KW

Biogas

More than 75% of total population of Myanmar live in rural areas and engaged

in rural agricultural activities.

The resources of livestock waste potential is (34,421 x 103 ton/year).

Biogas digesters are introduced for generation of biogas from animal waste.

The government had launched a program to propagate the biogas utilization

since 1980.

In 1983 Biogas Steering Committee have been formed chaired by the Deputy

Minister of Agriculture and Forest.

A total of 867 floating type biogas plant, family size digesters have been

constructed and utilized.

Biogas is mainly used for cooking and lighting.


Biogas (Contd.)

The high capital investment of floating type biogas plant installation,

intensive maintenance and short life-time of the floating drum are the main

drawbacks.

Since the beginning of year 2003, two fixed dome type biogas plants, 50

m3 in size, have been constructed and utilized in Panan and Pankque

villages, Kyauk Se District.

Electrification was provided with biogas for 6 hours per day.

50 m3 MMO model, Fixed Dome type Biogas plants are commercialized

by the aids of the MOST in villages of Mandalay, Sagaing and Magwe

Divisions and more than 65 numbers of electricity producing plants were

constructed on using cow-dung.


Biomass Gasification (Gasifier)

Biomass Resources in Myanmar are:

Rice Husks = 4,392 x 103 ton/yr

Lumber Waste = 1.5 million ton/yr

Bagasse = 2,126 x 103 ton/yr

Biomass gasification is popular to remote area and the industrial sector for both heating and power production.


The Biomass Gasification

The Biomass Gasification means the thermo chemical conversion of

Biomass into more useful energy form of gas through pyrolysis reaction.

In other words, it is the firing of biomass with limited air (Oxygen) and to

get the combustible gas called the producer gas (Synthesis gas)

Three types of energy conversion available are:

1. thermal heating

2. direct mechanical output

3. electricity output


Three Types of Gasification

Type Advantage Disadvantage

Updraft Small pressure drop

Good Thermal Eff:

Little tendency towards slag formation

Great sensitivity to tar and moisture and moisture content of fuel

Relatively long time reqd. for start up of IC engine.

Poor reaction capability with heavy gas load.

Downdraft Flexible adaptation of gas production to load

Low sensitivity to charcoal dust and tar content of fuel

Design tends to be tall

Not feasible for very small particle size of fuel

Crossdraft Short design height

Very fast response time to load

Flexible gas production

Very high sensitivity to slag formation

High pressure drop.

Production of Biofuel (Bioethanol) from Biomass

Integrated Framing Pilot Project


Demonstration of integrated farm comprising of sugar cane cultivation and cashew nut trees plantation, bioethanol and sugar cane syrupproduction and bioethanol utilization have been started in Kwin Kauk Village, Ingapu Township, Ayeyarwaddy Division since 1999 with the following objectives:

To protect environment by cashew nut trees plantation.

To cultivate sugar cane for bioethanol and sugar cane syrup production.

To produce bio-ethanol at a minimum cost for totally substituting of gasoline fuel in the rural area.

To develop a selfsufficient energy supply system not only to produce bioethanol and sugar cane syrup but also to supply for nearby small and medium industries.

To develop a greener production system with environmental protection through pollution prevention approach.

Objectives


To educate the benefit of integrated farm, to enhance the development of rural area and community based industries.

To promote confidence of using bioethanol in gasoline engine.

The demonstration of integrated farm was successfully completed in 2007 and started educating at Sweet Sorghum Cultivation Site of Myanma Sugarcane Enterprise and Pathein University. A replica integrated farm is started develop in Northern Shan State and BagoDivision in 2008.

Fuel Wood Consumption

Myanmar has a total population of 52 millions.

About 80% of the population are living in rural areas and engaged in

rural agricultural activities.

Wood fuel is the main source of domestic energy in Myanmar.

Firewood is used for cooking is rural areas together with limited amount

of agritural wastes.

The current level of wood fuel consumption is about 19.12 million cubic

tons.

To Reduce Fuel Wood Consumptions

Utilizing of High Efficiency Cooking Stoves.

Utilizing of Fuel Sticks and briquettes.


To Reduce Petrol & Diesel Consumptions

Appropriate allocation system for petro / diesel (about one million vehicles)

Use natural gas at power station and factories.

CNG vehicles conversion program for buses, taxis and commercial

vehicles.
