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 does a solar-diesel hybrid energy system cost?
Fig. 1. Levelized cost of electricity for the hybrid combinations of various solar installations with diesel for a constant installed solar cost of USD/kW and fuel cost of 0.71 USD/kW with a 4% discount rate. The solar–diesel hybrid energy system does not assume any storage or balancing mechanisms.
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 a solar-diesel hybrid energy system be used in Qaanaaq?
The solar–diesel hybrid energy system does not assume any storage or balancing mechanisms. Therefore, overproduced solar could not be stored or used. The solar–diesel optimal solar capacity additions might be considered oversized for this reason. Summer-time demand in Qaanaaq rarely exceeds 275–300 kWs.
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.
Are hybrid diesel generators a viable supply side solution for Arctic communities?
SDG 7 has been identified as one of the high priority goals for Arctic communities and has been endorsed by the Arctic Council. This paper is focused on assessing the feasibility of supply side solutions based on hybrid diesel generator, solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery storage energy systems.

The pilot project, which is the first to test hybrid energy supply in Greenland, aims at finding an alternative, green energy source to supply electricity to Greenland’s settlements. The power plant consists of 400 sun cell panels and 68 small wind turbines as well as a battery to store excess
A new energy project in the Ikerasaarsuk village in Greenland, combining solar cell energy with more traditional energy production has proven highly successful, according to Sermitsiaq. Once 90 percent of the solar cell battery bank is filled up, the diesel oil engines shut off and the solar cell
