The Transition to a Renewable Energy Electric Grid in the Caribbean Island Nation of Antigua and Barbuda

The Transition to a Renewable Energy Electric Grid in the Caribbean Island Nation of Antigua and Barbuda

The present study describes the development and application of a model of the national electricity system for the Caribbean dual-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda to investigate the cost-optimal mix of solar photovoltaics (PVs), wind, and, in the most novel contribution, concentrating solar power...
