6 FAQs about [Solar PV Site Locations in Palau]

Does Palau have solar power?

Source: PPUC and PEA data (n.d.). Together with a large amount of diesel generation, Palau also has some installed solar PV capacity. Indeed, the country’s current renewable energy capacity includes a total of 2.5 MW of utility-scale solar PV systems (see Table 3).

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 current power system in Palau?

CURRENT POWER SYSTEM As mentioned previously, the current power system of the Republic of Palau is widely dominated by conventional fossil fuel generation. The calibration model developed has shown that currently, renewable energy generation represents only 4.03% of the total share of Palau’s power sector.

Does Palau have a renewable power system?

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%). With more deployment, however, the share taken by renewables could potentially increase to more than 92%. This corresponds to the lowest average system LCOE.

Does Palau have a battery storage system?

As there is no battery storage system currently present in Palau, the panels can only generate throughout the day when the sun is available, and no electricity can be stored for later use. Furthermore, the figure also confirms that Palau’s current power system is widely dominated by fossil fuel generation.

How much does Palau's current power system cost?

With regard to the economic results of the optimisation, the LCOE for Palau’s current power system was estimated to be USD 0.23/kWh. The current power system has a net present cost of USD 294 million (mostly fuel) and an operating cost of approximately USD 20.7 million/year. Figure 7 shows the average daily dispatch for the current power system.
