Assessment of potential for hybridization of diesel power plants on Bequia
Project description
Project period 01.05.2014 – 31.05.2014
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), in cooperation with like-minded organisations and leading private sector partners, has set up a new initiative to develop cost-effective, decentralised, clean-energy applications in isolated off-grid communities of targeted developing countries.Involving public funders and potential private investors at an early stage is key to ensuring that the perceived risks to future private investment are being addressed. This will then provide the basis for future private sector investment. The RLI is project partner for assessing the renewable energy potential on the small island Bequia (St Vincent and the Grenadines).
Tasks
Within this project the current power generation and distribution system is analyzed. Additionally, future options of hybridization of the diesel power plants by PVs and batteries are suggested.
