Turbines of the Caribbean: Decarbonising Suriname''s electricity mix

From a climatic perspective, Suriname''s wind power and hydropower potential are roughly anti-correlated because wind speed and rainfall show opposing seasonal cycles. The climate of Suriname is characterised by a short (December–January) and a

Vertical-axis wind turbine

A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator and gearbox to be

Aerodynamic design and performance parameters of a lift-type vertical

In response, the lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) is experiencing a renewed interest for large-scale offshore wind energy generation and also for small-scale urban devices. Significant research has been published on the aerodynamic design and optimisation of

Suriname''s Energy Market: The Potential for Wind Power

According to a study conducted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Suriname has the potential to generate up to 1,000 MW of wind power, which is more than double its current installed capacity of approximately 400 MW. This potential is largely untapped, with only a few small-scale wind turbines currently in operation. The development

Tailwind for Suriname''s power generation

On average, wind turbines could cover around 25% of Suriname''s electricity needs - together with the hydropower plant, power generation in Suriname would then be renewable at around 80%. In the dry season, the share

Turbines of the Caribbean: Decarbonising Suriname''s

This paper discusses the potential of hydro-supported wind power integration in Suriname, exploring hourly-to-multiannual resource complementarities and pathways towards high wind power penetration to displace thermal (diesel and heavy fuel oil) sources from the elec-tricity mix of Suriname''s isolated EPAR grid.

Numerical and experimental investigation of Darrieus vertical axis wind

The theoretical maximum efficiency of Darrieus VAWTs is about 35 %, higher than the roughly 12–15 % efficiency of cross-flow wind turbines but lower compared to HAWTs, which can achieve efficiencies of up to 45 % [49]. Recent studies indicate that VAWTs may outperform HAWTs in urban and semi-urban environments.

Tailwind for Suriname''s power generation

Researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and KU Leuven, in collaboration with the N.V. Energiebedrijven Suriname (NVEBS), have now mapped out how Suriname could use its newly acquired dam to support a climate-friendly energy transition based on wind energy.

6 FAQs about [Suriname vertical wind turbine]

Could a new wind turbine be installed in Suriname?

As potential wind turbine deployment in Suriname would presumably happen in stages, the costs for each consecutive project could realistically be lower than for preceding projects as technology progresses and wind turbines with higher hubs (reaching higher capacity factors) become cheaper, allowing for penetration rates potentially beyond 30%.

Can Suriname support a grid integration of wind power?

Suriname's hydropower plant can support substantial grid integration of wind power. Thermal power could be cost-effectively displaced by hydro-supported wind power. Suriname could, on average, reach 20%–30% penetration of hydro-supported wind power. Such strategies could benefit various island states and regions with isolated grids.

Is solar power more flexible than wind power in Suriname?

However, two factors lead us to conclude that in Suriname's specific case, wind power is a more obvious candidate to be supported by hydro-driven flexibility than solar power.

How much wind power does Suriname need?

A penetration of at least 23% of wind power in the electricity mix would therefore be technically feasible and economically advantageous for Suriname under the above assumptions, even without demand response and storage measures. 4.3. Sensitivity analysis

Is a 20-30 percent wind power penetration possible in Suriname?

Based on this sensitivity analysis, it can be asserted that a penetration of 20–30% of wind power in Suriname's electricity mix would be technically feasible and economically advantageous even without advanced flexibility measures such as demand response and/or battery deployment.

Is coastal wind power a No-Regret option for Suriname?

We therefore conclude that planning for the deployment of coastal onshore wind power, with up to at least ~ 200 MW of total capacity given current demand levels, represents a no-regret option for Suriname.
