Seawater Pump Storage System : Opportunity for renewable energy storage and grid regulation on the island of Curacao

Last few decades the demand for energy is increasing globally and this has led to an increase in CO2 emission. Today, reducing CO2 footprint is an urgent requirement to minimize the global impact of climate change. In an isolated grid system like in Small Island Development States (SIDS), the majority of the electricity is being produced by fossil fuel, therefore these islands are now focusing on Variable Renewable Energy source (VREs). VREs such as wind and solar are unpredictable and could bring instabilities in the electric power system. Energy storage technologies play an important role to... Mehr ...
