After tailoring
  • Designed load profiles for 18 solar mini-grid sites serving clinics, schools, and water points across western Kenya.
  • Reduced battery oversizing by 14% by comparing measured evening demand with installer assumptions.
  • Prepared technical drawings and bill-of-materials packages for systems ranging from 8 kWp to 42 kWp.
Cover letter excerpt

Germany's applied engineering programmes are a strong fit for my next step because my work depends on translating field constraints into reliable system models.

My goal is to study renewable energy systems with enough depth to improve mini-grid planning for public facilities in Kenya.

DAAD support would let me focus on the technical and development questions behind rural electrification rather than treating the degree as only a credential.

Motivation statement

750 words

My motivation comes from field visits where a technically installed solar system still failed its users because demand had been estimated from a spreadsheet, not observed use. Graduate study should help me close that gap between design assumptions and service reliability.

Study plan

600 words

I plan to focus my coursework on power electronics, energy economics, and optimization methods. My thesis interest is a reliability model for public-service mini-grids that accounts for seasonal demand and constrained maintenance budgets.
