NDTV
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), in its new mandate, is developing solar thermal energy-based technology for heating habitation units.
A small defence research lab is actively finding solutions on how to efficiently tap solar energy to keep soldiers' shelters warm during winters in the Ladakh sector. The Indian army is sitting in an eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with the Chinese and needs warm habitations. The Defence Institute of High Altitude Research in Leh is developing solar thermal warming technology called Solar Thermal Energy Based Technology for Space Heating (Human Habitation) In High Altitude to keep the shelters warm for soldiers.
A renewable energy-powered solar thermal system has been developed by the Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), Leh to provide heat for shelters in cold, high-altitude environments, ensuring comfortable living conditions.
DIHAR said the power and heating requirements of the Ladakh region are mostly met with fossil fuel-based systems like bukhari (fire pot), Diesel Generator sets etc. The fossil fuels have to be transported to forward locations before the closure of roads from plain areas along with storage of the same.
