Photovoltaic/battery system sizing for rural electrification in Bolivia

Off-grid renewable electrification systems such as micro hydropower, small wind generators, and solar photovoltaic (PV) are widely used among rural electrification programs [6]. Off-grid PV systems rely on energy storage to supply power when the sun is not shining, and batteries are the most common energy storage devices used in rural

Photovoltaic/battery system sizing for rural electrification in Bolivia

This work evaluates the performance of optimal hybrid PV/battery and PV/diesel generator renewable energy systems for a remote village in Burkina Faso. Based on socioeconomic data and the household

Pathway to a fully sustainable energy system for Bolivia across

Studies analysing an energy transition pathway for all sectors for South America that consider Bolivia as a region with other countries provide largely varying insights towards a future energy system for Bolivia.

Plurinational State of Bolivia 1

Bolivia has set a target to achieve 183 MW through RE sources by 2025.6 In March 2021, the Bolivian government introduced a net metering scheme for rooftop PV.6 Bolivia has set a target to set up 8 isolated hybrid systems with RE sources in its power system by 2030.7

GIS-based solar and wind resource assessment and least-cost 100

This paper aims at examining the potential of solar PV and wind to support a future 100 % renewable electricity system in Bolivia. As will be shown later in this paper, solar

Photovoltaic/battery system sizing for rural electrification in Bolivia

Off-grid renewable electrification systems such as micro hydropower, small wind generators, and solar photovoltaic (PV) are widely used among rural electrification programs

Pathway to a fully sustainable energy system for Bolivia across

This study demonstrates two such pathways for Bolivia that are both technically feasible and cost-competitive to a scenario without proper renewable energy targets, and significantly more cost

GIS-based solar and wind resource assessment and least-cost 100

This paper aims at examining the potential of solar PV and wind to support a future 100 % renewable electricity system in Bolivia. As will be shown later in this paper, solar and wind have vastly larger resource potential than hydroelectricity and will eventually dominate.

6 FAQs about [Bolivia smart pv system]

Should Bolivia use solar energy to generate synthetic fuels?

Using Bolivia’s own excellent solar resources to generate synthetic fuels in BPS-1 and BPS-2 would result in energy independence and security. Due to the lack of GHG emission costs in BPS-3 fuel costs remain for the fossil fuels used in the heat and transport sectors. Fig. 23.

What type of energy system does Bolivia use?

Similar to the country’s total energy system, the power sector relies heavily on natural gas (AEtN, 2016). The electricity network in Bolivia is broken into two classifications: the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the Isolated Systems (SAs).

Does Bolivia have a long-term energy plan?

As previously mentioned, the Bolivian government does not provide any long-term energy planning study, however, the UNFCC (2015b) states that RE will compose 81% of electricity generation by 2030. Bolivia’s scenario for 2027 according to MHE (2009) states that biomass sources will comprise 8% of total final energy demand.

Can Bolivia have a low-carbon power system?

A sketch of Bolivia’s potential low-carbon power system configurations. The case of Applying carbon taxation and lowering financing costs Energy Strateg. Rev., 17 (2017), pp. 27 - 36, 10.1016/j.esr.2017.06.002 J. Clean. Prod., 199 (2018), pp. 687 - 704, 10.1016/j.jclepro.2018.07.159 Technol. Forecast. Soc.

How will Bolivia's energy transition affect fuel imports?

Increase in CAPEX suggests that during the transition, fuel imports will reduce, particularly those for fossil oil. Using Bolivia’s own excellent solar resources to generate synthetic fuels in BPS-1 and BPS-2 would result in energy independence and security.

Does Bolivia have a lithium resource?

Given that Bolivia’s PT region is home to the largest lithium reserve in the world (Sauer et al., 2015), development of cost of Bolivia’s own lithium usage as extraction of this resource develops may influence decision makers regarding lithium applications in the Bolivian energy system.
