Vanuatu solar energy storage battery project

How many solar installations are there in efaté (Vanuatu)?

The total installed capacity is 6042 kW, generated by 5 solar PV installations and 1 on-shore wind farm (installed in 4 phases). This configuration of installations was run through 3 simulated weather years to capture year on year variability. Figure 23: Existing wind and solar installations in Efaté (Vanuatu) as of 2021.

Does uncertainty calibration matter for solar power simulations in Vanuatu?

Table 2: Summary of uncertainty calibration for solar power simulations in Efaté, Vanuatu. Since only monthly production totals were available for wind it was not possible to test the uncertainty calibration due to having an insufficient number of samples to make a meaningful comparison.

What are the requirements for a Vanuatu solar and wind assessment?

4.2. Specific requirements in Vanuatu Global resolution data (30 x 30 km) for a national assessment for combined solar, wind and wave. Intermediate resolution (5km x 5km) for Vanuatu North and Vanuatu South regions for more detailed assessments of combined solar and wind.

What is the Vanuatu rural electrification project?

As mentioned earlier, The Vanuatu Rural Electrification Project is aimed at increasing electrification in rural households. Th project is targeting 17,500 households, 230 aid posts and 2,000 not-for-profit community halls unable to access affordable, safe and healthy electricity and located in dispersed off-grid areas.

How has IEA improved weather data development in Vanuatu?

In particular for Vanuatu, the IEA team experimented with weather data development at a 5km spatial resolution, given the large extension that Vanuatu covers. A new user journey has made the application more intuitive and user friendly. A UX (User
