The Operational, Technical and Social (OTS) framework for FELDA communities: Towards engaging sustainable electricity from solar technologies during flood disaster / Siti Jamiah Tun Jamil

The limited access to sustainable electricity during a flood disaster has led to negative implications to local community. The problem always occurs since this electricity may be interrupted and has to be shut-down due to the affected energy infrastructure at the flood areas. It simply cannot be solved by providing portable diesel generator set at the flood areas due to many aspects of environmental and logistic issues. Therefore, there is an urgent need in engaging sustainable electricity during the disaster period, by adopting solar PV technologies that has a wide potential in Malaysia. This research has achieved the objective by producing a significant working framework that can engaged solar PV technologies with the targeted case studies, which is FELDA communities during a flood disaster. This framework has developed a strategy to mitigation and prevention, preparedness, response, recovery and redesign process in establishing the link between the solar PV technologies and FELDA communities during a flood disaster in order to provide a self-sufficient electricity.
