An alternative data-driven proxy village approach, which uses average customer consumption from each mini-grid to predict consumption at other mini-grids, was more accurate and reduced the mean absolute error to 75 Wh/day per customer. The analysis shows that the ability to accurately estimate past consumption based on survey or audit data, even in a relatively short time-horizon is prone to appreciable error - a mean absolute error of 426 Wh/day per customer on a mean consumption of 113 Wh/day per customer. A follow-up audit compares the aspirational inventory of appliances to the realized inventory. This research compares survey-predicted electrical energy use to actual measured consumption of customers of eight mini-grids in rural Kenya. However, the general reliability and accuracy of these surveys has not been demonstrated. Energy-use surveys deployed in the pre-feasibility stage that capture present and aspirational consumption are intended to reduce this uncertainty. A key barrier of mini-grid proliferation is the uncertainty in predicting customer electricity consumption, which adds financial risk.
BIAS Professional is priced at $199 USD, and adds Amp Matching Technology, Exclusive Amp Matching Models on ToneCloud, and three Amp Design Expansion Packs (Glassy Pack, Crunch Pack and Insane Pack).Mini-grids for rural electrification in developing countries are growing in popularity but are not yet widely deployed.
Works the way guitarists think: tweak gain and overdrive, swap out tubes and transformers, change the cabinet and mic position, and shape the tone with different tone stacks and two 8-band equalizers.Customize the look and feel of your own amp panel change the name, tolex, panel and knobs.Fully customizable preamps, tone stacks, power amps, transformers, cabinets and mic selection and placement-mix and match!.Share and download thousands of artist- and user-created and matched amp models on ToneCloud.Amp Matching captures any miced amp or recorded track and creates a matched model.36 HD amp models included with the introductory release.
For the first time in history, guitar players are free to design, modify and capture the most unique and individual soul of tone, into the digital domain and keep it ready for studio recording applications.īuilt-in with BIAS, ToneCloud allows guitar players to share their custom amp models and download over thousands custom BIAS amps created by other users - including signature recording artists.
It then executes the tonal compensation and enhancement needed to make this current amp model accurately match the target amplifier. The Amp Matching™ in BIAS Desktop utilizes a collection of underlying technologies that analyze and compare a currently designed BIAS amp model with the sound of any tube amp, the corresponding cabinet and microphone. “Instead of providing a fixed number of amp models, BIAS Desktop represents an entire new concept on guitar sound: guitar players can now virtually design their own amps, using Amp Matching Technology to capture their golden tube amplifiers,” says BIAS Product Manager Calvin Abel, “and finally they can share or download thousands of amp models on ToneCloud, also we are currently working with worldwide artists and studios to expand this platform.”
Positive Grid has announced the release of BIAS Desktop, a groundbreaking guitar amp modeler with Amp Matching technology that offers an entirely new concept of putting any tube amplifier tone and feel into a plug-in for Windows and Mac.īIAS Desktop features the most accurate, thorough and versatile guitar-amp modeler and designer engine, and it can accurately capture the tone of any tube amplifier, users can then share or download amp models from BIAS’s built-in ToneCloud® amp-sharing platform.
