Convenient innovation: Throughout the provision of its services, ELC has implemented a variety of distribution innovations, whenever shortage of money or materials make conventional systems impossible. Single phase, ground-‐return systems have been used to supply widely dispersed rural communities.
Advanced technology: ELC has successfully introduced quite a few advanced computer programs for overall line optimization.
They have proven very successful to maximize efficiency & reduce cost.
Tower & conductor optimization and the use of lighter, more efficient towers represent a v ery beneficial technology for developing countries.
Focus: in any phase of ELC’s assignments, the essence of success is to stay constantly focused on a fully organized planning approach for energy management, control systems and load dispatch centers.
Suitable methodology is applied so to define operational & functional requirements, prepare specifications, ev aluate suppliers bids, provide assistance during contract negotiation, superv ise manufacturing and factory tests, up to erection supervision and start-‐up.
TAP prototype substations: ELC has been the first and only company to design very cheap substations ideal for the electrification of remote rural areas.
These new substations were constructed in Northern & Southern Sumatra through the founding of the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) and the World Bank Rural Electrification Program.
Achievements: TAP Pilot Projects established a low cost rural electrification sy stem based on exploiting the potential for distribution electricity to rural v illages, including a capacity building and transfer of technology component to strengthen the institutional capabilities to manage rural electrification programs.
