Suriname solar wind power station energy storage ratio

How much wind power does Suriname need?

A penetration of at least 23% of wind power in the electricity mix would therefore be technically feasible and economically advantageous for Suriname under the above assumptions, even without demand response and storage measures. 4.3. Sensitivity analysis

Is solar power more flexible than wind power in Suriname?

However, two factors lead us to conclude that in Suriname''s specific case, wind power is a more obvious candidate to be supported by hydro-driven flexibility than solar power.

Is a 20-30 percent wind power penetration possible in Suriname?

Based on this sensitivity analysis, it can be asserted that a penetration of 20–30% of wind power in Suriname''s electricity mix would be technically feasible and economically advantageous even without advanced flexibility measures such as demand response and/or battery deployment.

Can Suriname support a grid integration of wind power?

Suriname''s hydropower plant can support substantial grid integration of wind power. Thermal power could be cost-effectively displaced by hydro-supported wind power. Suriname could, on average, reach 20%–30% penetration of hydro-supported wind power. Such strategies could benefit various island states and regions with isolated grids.
