Feasibilit Study of a Hybrid Energy System For Sustainable Energy Production in Kiribati

This thesis was prepared by Tiante T Tarakia. This thesis presents a comprehensive energy resource assessment for Kiribati. The energy resources assessed are solar, wind and copra with CNO biofuel as a diesel substitute. The main aim is to assess the feasibility and economic viability of these energy resources as energy sources for a Hybrid Energy System (HES) that can provide a sustainable energy source for rural communities on outer islands in Kiribati. Arorae Island, is chosen as a case study to assess these resources, including the feasibility of local CNO production.

Tonga Feasibility Study

This study is to further develop a project proposal submitted by the Government of Tonga to transform its solar electrification programme into a financially sustainable one. This is to be carried out through the electrification with solar PV of the outer islands of the Ha'apai Group, utilising the lessons learnt from previous projects and using the project as a leverage for change to the existing projects and a model and funding incentive for new ones.
