How Renweable Energy is Working for Hawaii

HOW RENEWABLE ENERGY IS WORKING FOR HAWAII Hawaii is one of the most fossil fuel-dependent States in the nation, but the Hawaiian Clean Energy Initiative is looking to change that. Launched in 2008, the initiative is a partnership between the State, the U.S. Department of Energy, and Hawaiian Electric Company that aims to increase energy efficiency and generate more power locally. The agreement is leading the way in relieving the State's dependence on oil by boosting renewable energy from sources such as wind, solar, biomass and others by 2030. THE OAHU EXAMPLE The Interisland Wind Project Oahu's Projected Energy Savings The combined supply from wind and solar plants can supply 25% of Oahu's electricity needs, which has a big impact on the amount of imported oil and its cost. Oahu 100MW WIND | 100MW SOLAR Up to 400MW wind 2.8 MILLION BARRELS OF FUEL OIL SAVED power on Lanai ANNUALLY and/or Molokai Molokai 132,000 TONS OF COAL SAVED ANNUALLY Lanai Changing Winds 400 MEGAWATTS (MW) A number of system modifications and operational strategies will be needed to enable the Interisland Wind Project, including: One of the conceptual wind plant configurations considered in the Oahu Wind Integration Study would integrate 400 megawatts (MW) of wind power on Molokai Wind power forecasting to Modifications to reduce the anticipate available power. minimum power of the existing conventional power plants. and/or Lanai to be transmitted to the load Advanced wind turbine center on Oahu through an undersea cable technologies capable of supporting the grid during unanticipated events. Modifications to increase the ramping capability of the existing conventional system. The study looked at various operational strategies and system power plants. modifications to conclude that wind and solar generation could supply up to 25% of Oahu's electricity needs.
