Renewable Energy recipes II – feasible sites for PV projects

Renewable Energy recipes II – feasible sites for PV projects

Continuing my series on recipes for procedures to support Asian countries in developing Renewable Energies, I am going to address the feasibility of sites for PV projects. One may think that it is obvious that some sites are not feasible: mountains, wetlands, rocky outcrops, coastal lines, water catchment areas and others. However the question then becomes are such types of sites really not feasible?

The era of battery-based energy storage is upon us

Will the traditional utility business model be disrupted?

Sembcorp nabs two rooftop solar facilities

They have a combined capacity of 2.3MW.

Why Singapore's savvy approach to solar growth threatens grid stability

Solar systems have gone from hanging to floating to "urban".

Drones are the new toys for the big power utility boys

Drone market's revenue is forecasted to hit $1.6b by 2024.

Singapore-based Equis mulls over selling India portfolio

Sources say Energon and Energon Soleq to be on sale.

How can the utilities industry successfully adapt in the digital world?

In order to thrive, utilities must embrace and harness digital transformation.

Flurry of offshore wind energy projects sweep Asia off its feet as costs keep falling down

Can the increasing penetration of wind power be handled without threatening the stability of the power system?

Engie tests self-contained power grid on island off Singapore

Hydrogen gas may be proven useful in energy storage.

Solar sector jobs surged by 12% to 3.1m in 2016

Growth was mainly from China, US, and India.

Renewable energy recipes: How PV projects are really developed

I am starting a series on recipes for procedures to support Asian countries in developing Renewable Energies. Along the many years of consultancy in Asia and elsewhere in the planet developing Renewable Energy projects I have come across the symptomatic question: “no one helps us to develop renewable energy projects. What can we do?” This question has been less frequent, but even after 200GW of solar projects and 400GW of wind projects across the world, it is still present in some countries, states and regions and I heard it a few days ago again. The recipe for PV projects has three basic ingredients:

Sunseap gets US$10.6m loan for solar projects in Singapore

This includes the world's largest solar PV system installed in a port.

Why tiny Singapore's solar energy sector can't go big despite technological lead

There is an increasing levels of solar penetration that will cut into peak demand even though no capacity is needed.
