In developing countries, battery storage is becoming a viable way to increase system flexibility and enable more integration of variable renewable energy. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) respond rapidly to control signals, are easy to deploy, and are benefiting from cost reduction trends. New battery technologies have valuable attributes that are well suited to the needs of developing countries. However, they have a rather short track record in terms of deployment and operation, and this can hamper efforts to reassure buyers and investors that these new technologies will perform reliably over their project life. Conditions found in some developing countries...
This document was developed by the renewable energy department of the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre looks at different waste methods to generate energy. Key Words: waste to energy, biogas, gasification, composting and fermentation, incineration
This is a complete recording of the IRRP webinar which focused on cybersecurity for resilient energy systems. This webinar was undertaken with the kind support of our colleagues at the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
What is the relationship between energy and climate change? How can sustainable energy impact the climate crisis?
The Quarter 1 update of the CARICOM Energy Knowledge Hub for 2022.
Floating solar photovoltaic (FPV) technology is considered commercially viable, given the number of largescale projects that have been implemented. Challenges to its deployment remain, however, including the lack of a robust track record; uncertainty about costs; uncertainty about the environmental impact; and the technical complexity of designing, building, and operating on and in water (especially electrical safety, anchoring and mooring issues, and operation and maintenance). This handbook provides developers, utilities, contractors, investors, regulators, and decision makers with practical guidelines on FPV projects. Most of the handbook focuses on technical aspects relating to developing and operating FPV projects; some sections focus...
