【Abstract】
Chinese Government have made a great efforts to electrify residents who are living in the remote areas by use of PV/wind off-grid power technologies since 2000, initiated with the Pilot Projects of the Brightness Program and A-Li PV project in Tibet. “SDDX” was the highlight of the Rural RE programs, which started in 2002, more than 700 mini-grid PV of PV hybrid systems were installed I 7 provinces. In the meanwhile Sino-German financial cooperation program ( KfW ), REDP ( GEF/World Bank/NDRC ), Lighting Silk Road Project ( Dutch aid) were carried out in parallel. However some problems occurred during the operation after the installation due to quality issues. It is founded that the quality problems are related to standards and regulations. Because the off-grid RE power is new, there is no complete quality system in China yet, it is not supprised to meet the problems during the operation.
The target of this study is to analyze the problems occurred in the off-grid PV and wind desemination projects, evaluate the existing quality control systems in China and present a concept of the Total Quality Control System for Rural Off-grid Power Application. It should be pointed out that the TQCS must be set up, in order to assure success and surstainability of rural RE power program, TQCS should covers all aspects including policy & regulation, project management, project preparation, opertimization, construction/installation/commissioning, O&M, training and so forth, in order to provide qualified, reliable and surstainable power supply.
