6 FAQs about [Greenland battery storage sites]

Is solar feasible in Greenland?

In this work we investigate potential solar feasibility in Greenland using the village of Qaanaaq, Greenland as a case study to demonstrate several optimized energy scenarios. 1.1. Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies.

Should Greenland invest in solar energy?

Even without a change in the one-price model, government investment in solar energy for communities around Greenland will lower Nukissiorfiit’s dependence on fossil fuel which would help to reduce the associated large ongoing deficits incurred by Nukissiorfiit . Table 8. Annual cost savings in USD/ Year for Solar–BES–diesel hybrid scenarios.

Can solar PV be used in Greenland?

Alternative energy in the arctic Both wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) are mature technologies. Despite being mature, use of solar PV in Greenland on a community scale is limited.

Can solar energy reduce fossil fuel costs in Greenland?

Dramatic and ongoing reductions in the cost of solar energy and battery storage combined with copious sunlight for seven months of the year suggest that solar and storage could play an important role in reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels in Greenland and elsewhere in the far north.

How much do solar panels cost in Greenland?

Solar power is not widely used in the far north of Greenland. Therefore, there is little comparison for costs of panels, transportation, and installation. In Sarfannguit, Greenland, PV prices were estimated at 2800 USD/kW in 2014 . In the Canadian Arctic, panel price estimates have exceeded 5000 USD/kW in 2019 and 2020 , .

Is Greenland a good place for offshore wind power?

However, a study on wind and wave power potential on 22 islands has found Greenland to be one of the best sites for offshore wind power with 4555–5450 full load hours (FLH) in addition to good conditions for wave power with 1050–4000 FLH . Satymov et al. found 5000–6000 FLH in the south of Greenland for an improved wave energy converter.
