Port of spain wind and solar energy storage

Are floating solar PV and wind power technologies suitable for Green Port goals?

These challenges include the high initial investment cost, technological limitations, and lack of supportive policies and regulations. This paper concludes that floating solar PV and wind power technologies, considering their technical maturity and lower LCOE are proper options to achieve green port goals.

Can offshore wind and PV solar energy improve the stability of the resource?

Therefore, it is important to mention that the present manuscript represents the first step in the development of offshore hybrid systems based on wind and PV solar resource on the western Iberian Peninsula. The current study showed that the combination of offshore wind and PV solar energy improved the stability of the resource along the year.

Why do we need offshore wind energy storage & integration?

This is a key factor since offshore wind energy storage and integration in the electrical grid continues to be a challenge , and it becomes particularly critical considering that, to reach the decarbonization plans previously mentioned, the relevance of renewable energy resources over the European countries energy mix will grow considerably.

How are offshore wind and solar power resources calculated in the western Iberia?

Offshore wind and solar power resource in the western Iberia were calculated through Eq. (2)and Eq. (4), respectively. Annual mean WPD greater than 200 Wm-2, which is often considered a threshold value of rich occurrence [40,53], was observed in most of the region, except for some coastal areas in the northernmost part (Fig. 3a).

Can floating wind farms be installed in the Iberian Peninsula?

In addition to the assessment of the offshore wind energy resource, the legal framework [15,16] and the economic feasibility of the installation of floating wind farms on the western coast of the Iberian Peninsula were also analyzed , also considering the impact of future climate change .

Can offshore power supply reduce air pollution in port areas?

An investigation on the power requirements of ships at berth for implementing Offshore Power Supply (OPS) is presented. It is highlighted thatthis technology acts as a suitable measure for reducing air pollution in port areas. The study is conducted for Cartagena Port (Spain), analyzing the data port traffic in the period 2010–2016.
