“ศรีแสงธรรมโมเดล” ต้นแบบการขับเคลื่อนชุมชนด้วยพลังงานทดแทนอย่างยั่งยืน

ความมุ่งมั่นในการเปลี่ยนผ่านสู่พลังงานสะอาด ทำให้การผลิตไฟฟ้าจากพลังงานแสงอาทิตย์หรือโซลาร์เซลล์กลายเป็นพระเอกของการผลิตไฟฟ้ายุคใหม่ เพราะไม่เพียงเป็นพลังงานสะอาด ต้นทุนต่ำ ที่สามารถนำมาใช้ได้อย่างไม่มีวันหมดแล้ว ยังเป็นกุญแจสำคัญในการสร้างความเท่าเทียมด้านพลังงานอีกด้วย “แม้เราจะอยู่ในพื้นที่ห่างไกลความเจริญกว่า 800 กิโลเมตร แต่เราไม่ได้อยู่ไกลจากแสงแดดมากกว่าคนอื่นเลย แสงแดดให้ความเท่าเทียมเราทุกคนเท่ากันหมด” แนวคิดของพระปัญญาวชิรโมลี เจ้าอาวาสวัดป่าศรีแสงธรรม อำเภอโขงเจียม จังหวัดอุบลราชธานี เปลี่ยนหมู่บ้านดงดิบที่เคยเป็นโคกอีโด่ยเต็มไปด้วยความแห้งแล้ง ห่างไกลความเจริญ ให้กลายเป็น “โคกอีโด่ยวัลเลย์” ด้วยนวัตกรรมการผลิตไฟฟ้าจากโซลาร์เซลล์ พัฒนาคุณภาพชีวิตความเป็นอยู่ของคนในชุมชนให้ดีขึ้น และมีความมั่นคงทางพลังงานที่สามารถพึ่งพาตนเองได้ในช่วงแรกโซลาร์เซลล์ถูกนำมาใช้ผลิตไฟฟ้าสำหรับใช้ภายในโรงเรียนศรีแสงธรรมเพื่อลดค่าไฟฟ้า เนื่องจากโรงเรียนศรีแสงธรรมเป็นโรงเรียนที่ให้เรียนฟรี จากนั้นจึงนำโซลาร์เซลล์ไปต่อยอดเป็นสิ่งประดิษฐ์เพื่อใช้ในด้านการเกษตร อาทิ เครื่องสูบน้ำพลังงานแสงอาทิตย์ รถเข็นนอนนาพลังงานแสงอาทิตย์ รวมถึงพัฒนาเป็นอาชีพรับติดตั้งแผงโซลาร์เซลล์ในนาม “ช่างขอข้าว” เพื่อนำรายได้กลับมาใช้ในกิจกรรมต่างๆ ของโรงเรียน แต่ด้วยข้อจำกัดของระบบผลิตไฟฟ้าจากโซลาร์เซลล์ที่ขึ้นอยู่กับสภาพอากาศ ทำให้ผลิตไฟฟ้าได้เพียงบางช่วงเวลา ประกอบกับเมื่อมีการติดตั้งแผงโซลาร์เซลล์ในจุดต่างๆ เพิ่มมากขึ้น ทำให้พลังงานไฟฟ้าที่ผลิตได้มีมากเกินความต้องการ พระปัญญาวชิรโมลี เจ้าอาวาสวัดป่าศรีแสงธรรม จึงได้ผสานพลังความร่วมมือกับการไฟฟ้าฝ่ายผลิตแห่งประเทศไทย (กฟผ.) ด้วยการนำระบบไมโครกริดและระบบบริหารจัดการพลังงานไฟฟ้าเข้ามาประยุกต์ใช้แก้ปัญหาข้อจำกัดดังกล่าวภายใต้โครงการทดสอบนวัตกรรมที่นำเทคโนโลยีมาสนับสนุนการให้บริการด้านพลังงาน … Continue reading →
