Steinbeis India was involved in Hyderabad Megacity Project implemented by Humboldt Universirty Berlin (HUB) as a part of the Sustainable Megacities Project sponsored by German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in many cities across the world. The HUB researchers spent a considerable amount of time studying the usage pattern and practices of thousands of farmers who are dependent on bore-wells for watering their fields. They have also networked with scores of NGO’s, local politicians, local bodies, electric supply utilities, associations, technical consulting organizations and industry to arrive at a model for implementing a technical yet sustainable solution for betterment of motor & pump-set usage by the farmers. The result was a very holistic yet simple solution of implementing capacitors by all farmers in the selected feeders. The difference here is that of educating and informing the farmers of the benefits if all the farmers in a single feeder use the capacitors directly installed on the pump-sets – which is a very low-cost option (that is why high-end options like Automatic Power-Factor Controllers were rejected after a full-study). This not only resulted in better efficiency, but also benefitted the farmers by low burn-out rate of the motors and the resultant savings. The project also envisaged making a small cooperative for the farmers, to undertake the maintenance and upkeep of the capacitors – to make the solution sustainable in the long-run.
