Technical FAQs 4

What is the potential for the production of electricity in Maldives?

The potential for producing electricity in Maldives lies primarily in ocean energy. This includes marine current energy, wave energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). Further feasibility studies are needed to determine the real potential and the best technological pathways and costs of these options.

Why solar PV with storage in Maldives?

Solar PV with storage has proven suitable and competitive for Maldives' high penetration of renewable energy (POISED type B projects), with an average fuel savings of 25%. The concept design of hybrid systems (efficient diesel generators + solar PV plants + energy storage) has resulted in success for Maldives.

What is the most important energy conversion in Maldives?

In Maldives the most significant energy conversion is from diesel energy to electricity. Nearly 100% of all electricity produced in Maldives in from diesel based systems. The generation and distribution of the electrical systems are decentralized with each separate island operating a self-sustaining diesel power generation and distribution system
