The challenge of a real, complex hybrid project
Get PDFThis paper explores the implementation process of a hybrid power plant project (HyPP) in the Philippines' deregulated and complex energy market. SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP) owns and operates the Magat HyPP which involves integrating a 388 MW hydropower plant with a 24 MW/32 MWh battery system and a 280 kW pilot floating solar (FPV), planned for expansion. Scatec ASA, OceanSun and Prediktor, with support from the research partners IFE and SINTEF Energy Research, are contributing to the development of Magat HyPP under the HydroSun innovation program with financial support from Innovation Norway and the Research Council of Norway. No regulatory framework exists in the Philippines for implementing FPV or HyPPs. During the development of Magat HyPP, it was uncovered that 50 permits and agreements were required to implement the project. Ocean Sun, the FPV system supplier used methodologies for design and verification from offshore aquaculture and has thus ensured insurable guaranties for the installations. Prediktor has developed an Energy Management System for real-time hybrid optimization. The value creation potential from Magat HyPP is assessed with the Short-term Hydro Optimization Program (SHOP) developed by SINTEF. The results indicate that the annual revenue can increase by 4 % under a hybrid power purchase agreement compared to standalone production.The challenge of a real, complex hybrid projectacceptedVersio
Spatial Trade-Offs in National Land-Based Wind Power Production in Times of Biodiversity and Climate Crises
Get PDFEnergy generated by land-based wind power is expected to play a crucial role in the decarbonisation of the economy. However, with the looming biodiversity and nature crises, spatial allocation of wind power can no longer be considered solely a trade-off against local disamenity costs. Emphasis should also be put on wider environmental impacts, especially if these challenge the sustainability of the renewable energy transition. We suggest a modelling system for selecting among a pool of potential wind power plants (WPPs) by combining an energy system model with a GIS analysis of WPP sites and surrounding viewscapes. The modelling approach integrates monetised local disamenity and carbon sequestration costs and places constraints on areas of importance for wilderness and biodiversity (W&B). Simulating scenarios for the Norwegian energy system towards 2050, we find that the southern part of Norway is the most favourable region for wind power siting when only the energy system surplus is considered. However, when local disamenity costs (and to a lesser extent carbon costs) and W&B constraints are added successively to the scenarios, it becomes increasingly beneficial to site WPPs in the northern part of Norway. We find that the W&B constraints have the largest impact on the spatial distribution of WPPs, while the monetised costs of satisfying these constraints are relatively small. Overall, our results show that there is a trade-off between local disamenities and loss of W&B. Siting wind power plants outside the visual proximity of households has a negative impact on W&BSpatial Trade-Offs in National Land-Based Wind Power Production in Times of Biodiversity and Climate CrisespublishedVersio
