How will solar energy be produced in Palau?
Solar electricity will be produced by a hybrid 15.3 MWdc (13.2 MWac) solar photovoltaic (PV) plus 10.2 MWac/12.9 MWh battery energy storage system facility. Extensive safeguards to protect Palau’s pristine environment SPEC did not leave any stone unturned to protect the pristine Palau ecosystem.
How much solar PV is needed in Palau?
The results show that on top of the 2.5 MW of solar PV currently present in Palau, an additional 83 MW of solar PV and 20 MW of wind turbines would be required for such a system. Furthermore, this scenario would necessitate a battery storage system of 168 MWh and battery inverters of 34 MW.
What is the optimal power system for Palau?
The optimal system includes the current power system together with additional renewable capacity coupled with battery storage. The results of the optimisation show that Palau’s current power system is dominated by diesel generation, with renewable energy only taking a small share (just 4%).
Does Palau rely on fossil fuels?
As a small island developing state, the Republic of Palau sought to wean itself off its dependence on fossil fuel for power, which accounts for 99.7% of the country’s power generation. To address this issue, Palau invited Solar Pacific Energy Corporation (SPEC), Alternergy’s solar developer, to develop a clean, renewable energy source.
What is Palau's energy storage system?
energy storage system, was undertaken by Solar Pacific Pristine Power, a privately owned company. The plant will provide approximately 20 per cent of Palau’s power needs, delivering up to 23,000 megawatt hours per year to the grid network, reducing Palau’s reliance on expensive diesel generators.
Will Palau get a 100 kW solar power system?
This is a substantial increase and would bring Palau closer to its 100% target. For such a power system, the government would have to deploy an additional 260 kW of solar PV to the existing 100 kW.
