Powered By The Sun: The Maldives Sustainable Energy
Offshore wind, tidal energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and electric vehicles are now viable options for the Maldives. The Maldives'' net-zero journey is not over yet, but making
In pursuit of the Maldives ambitious net-zero emissions target by 2030, the adoption of photovoltaic (PV) systems has surged as a leading renewable energy solution. Despite this growth, a critical gap exists – a genuine operational performance assessment specific to the Maldives.
Renewable Energy Assessments in the Maldives The Maldives has established an ambitious target of achieving net zero emissions by 2030, alongside a plan to attain a 70% renewable energy generating capacity by the same year.
Assessments were conducted using data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather (Keiner et al., 2022), indicating that offshore wind and wave energy could contribute to the Maldives achieving energy self-sufficiency. Table 1 succinctly outlines the summary of related references and highlights the assessment type performed.
Sark et. al. were the pioneers in introducing the first hybrid PV-Diesel power system with a battery backup system in the Maldives during initial research (van Sark et al., 2005). The HOMER program was employed to simulate and design the suggested system.
