ENERGY PROFILE Sao Tome and Principe

Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.

Scaling of Solar Rooftop in São Tomé and Príncipe

(NREAP), the grid system in São Tomé and Príncipe has losses of around 33%, of which 11% are technical losses, and the remaining 22% are commercial losses (EMAE 2019). The NEEAP states that the STP government aims to reduce the total grid losses to 30% by 2030 and 8% by 2050, limiting technical losses to 5% and commercial losses to 3%.

Solar and wind hybrid system for home São Tomé and Príncipe

4 FAQs about [Solar and wind hybrid system for home São Tomé and Príncipe]

How is Sao Tome & Principe generating electricity?

Medium The Government of Sao Tome and Principe is strongly motivated to increase and diversify its generation capacity through mini/smallhydropower plants and is driven by its plans to increase access to electricity services to the population.

Are there any studies on solar power potential in Sao Tome & Principe?

2. Solar PV:As per the publication “Emission Reduction Profile: Sao Tome and Principe”, June 2013” prepared by RISO with the support of ACP-MEA & UNFCCC, there are, to date, “no official studies on the exact solar power potential: therefore, further calculations of the emissions reduction potential can be hazardous”.

What is a hybrid solar-wind energy system?

Given the intermittent nature of solar and wind energy, hybrid solar-wind energy systems are also equipped with battery storage solutions. These batteries store excess energy generated during peak sun or wind periods, ensuring a consistent and continuous power supply even during periods without sunlight or low wind speeds.

What is the relationship between wind speed and solar availability?

In many regions, wind patterns and solar availability often show an inverse relationship. This means that during periods of low sunlight (such as cloudy days, overcast periods, or specific times like early mornings or evenings), wind speed tends to be greater.
