The island of Graciosa has an area of 61.66 km2, with a length of 12.5 km and a maximum width of 8.5 guidelines. The system it has been developing over the past four years guarantees a reliable supply also at night and when there is no wind. The 4,700 residents’ annual electricity needs will be supplied by over 75 % from wind and solar power starting 2013. The diesel generator can remain switched off most of the time. Thanks to intelligent control technology sodium sulphur batteries provide stability in the autonomous grid without the rotating mass of fossil generators.
उद्देश्य:
The operation will develop a complex supply network consisting of renewable energy sources and a storage device. Younicos plans to build the world’s largest battery units (5mx4mx2,5m) powered by wind and solar power, gathered locally, to supply the island’s needs.
Conclusions:
Graciosa host some of the world’s most advanced sustainable energy systems test projects based on renewable energy resources, which include solar power, News Archives, water power, geothermal and biomass power, as well as the production of energy from waves and maritime currents.
According to a company statement, the project was planned for duration of three years and will demonstrate that power supply exclusively from renewable sources is already possible and cost-effective.
में 2009, a protocol was signed between the Regional Government of the Azores, the Foundation for Science and Technology, MIT Portugal and the University of the Azores, with a view to implementing the Green Islands Project.
