    When most people decide to put up a decent house, they go for brick and mortar, the most conventional construction materials. But a couple from Kericho has gone against the grain by opting for a non-conventional method of construction for their country home.

    The three-bedroom house for the family of five is being constructed using earthbag technology, a method the designing architect, Mr Francis Gichuhi, says is the first of a kind to be used to put up a residential home in the country.

    To put it simply, earthbag technology involves filling sacks with soil and then stacking them together like soldiers do when building bunkers to ward off attacks. Chicken wire mesh is then added to provide additional strength before concrete is plastered.

    “The bags used are the onion-net type while the dome shape of the house means that the house does not require a roof, greatly saving on cost,” says Mr Gichuhi.

    Asked the reason behind using onion bags and not any other type, the architect says, “The perforated and net nature of onion bags produces friction between the layers, which is important in keeping the walls intact and preventing sliding.”

    This particular house features three bedrooms and a kitchen. All the rooms can be accessed from the living room, which also houses the dining area. The kitchen is also accessible through the back door. Of the three bedrooms, two are en suite with the remaining bedroom having a toilet only.

  • Energy Storage Solution for power management on smart grid

    ESS – Energy Storage Solution
    for power management on smart grid
    While energy storage technologies do not represent energy sources, they provide
    valuable added benefits to improve stability power quality, and reliability of supply.
    One solution for different applications
    PV plants
    Manage the intermittence of
    renewable energy production.
    The device ensures the production
    profile of an intermittent renewable
    energy plant by:
    • limiting the production to a
    predefined value,
    • injecting energy to compensate
    solar variations.

    Grid support
    Meet the challenge of demand response
    energy balance.
    When directly connected to the grid, the
    device improves the stability and the
    management by grid operators thanks to:
    • voltage & frequency regulation,
    • load shifting,
    • peak shaving,
    • ancillary services for grid support.
    Behind the Meter Energy
    Storage
    Reduce peak consumption and maximize PV
    energy self consumption
    The device can limit the impact of increases in
    the electricity retail price by:
    • supplying the load to cut peak demand:
    peak shaving,
    • maximizing the PV energy self consumption
    at building or community level.
    Any PV energy surplus is stored in battery
