Jenny Hu replied to a discussion, Power Quality Challenges in LMICs - Data and Analysis
John, thanks for the comments!
Our goal with this paper was to provide information to various stakeholders to inform evidence-based policy and decision making. Some of the obvious areas where this data can directly affect deployment decisions and specifications are holdover time and voltage protection/stabilization – how often is additional holdover needed to prevent temperature excursions? What voltage range is most beneficial? What kinds of electrical events need to be protected against?
We’re doing some additional analysis to help address those questions and will have more results to share soon. Even with clear data showing outage lengths and voltage histograms, more input and debate will be needed to balance technical benefits with manufacturer constraints and country implementation logistics and get to the specification changes that John mentioned. We welcome feedback from the TechNet-21 community on the data and their implications for CCE.

Jenny Hu started a new discussion, Power Quality Challenges in LMICs - Data and AnalysisDear TechNet community,
Poor power conditions are a major challenge to maintaining the vaccine cold chain in many LMICs, necessitating the development of specialized CCE such as ILRs and SDD refrigerators to help keep vaccines at safe temperatures in areas with limited or no mains power. Even in places with an electrical grid connection or a generator, intermittent power can lead to ILRs running out of holdover, and erratic voltages can damage many types of medical devices and equipment.
Despite these well-known issues, to date, data on power conditions in LMIC health facilities have been largely anecdotal or small-scale, which impedes evidence-based policymaking. To quantify power availability and quality challenges, Global Good – in close partnership with Nigeria’s National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) and Kenya’s National Vaccines and Immunization Program (NVIP) – has compiled an analysis of mains power data reported over nearly 18 months by...
