“…At about half the size of Barbados, Aruba has also committed to a 100 % RES with a total installed capacity of 230 MW, a peak demand of 125 MW and a renewable share of 15.4 % in 2015 (Healey et al, 2020b). Watson et al (2017) used Photurgen as an open access/source model and GIS information to optimise a hybrid solar-wind system on the island of Jamaica. Chen et al (2020) uses DIgSILENT/Power Factory to examine the implications of a 100 % RE on the Jamaican power grid by replacing spinning reserves from fossil fuel power plants with battery storage, to balance the effects of fluctuations in electricity generation from renewables.…”

“…Watson et al [28], in collaboration with the Alternative Energy Research Group, of the University of the West Indians (UWI) Mona, have developed the free Linear Optimization software, Photurgen [29], to design and analyze hybrid solar-wind systems within the Caribbean region. In this model, the historic climatological resources and instantaneous load consumption data, as shown in the daily analysis of measured load consumption, was in hourly resolution.…”

“…Other planning tools simulate power system dynamics, and optimize the capacity of renewable and fossil fuel generation technologies, storage technologies, and the transmission system, while accounting for the hourly variability of intermittent renewable generation and electricity loads. Watson et al [87], in collaboration with the Alternative Energy Research Group, of the University of the West Indians (UWI) Mona, have developed the free Linear Optimization software, Photurgen [88], to design and analyze hybrid solarwind systems within the Caribbean region.
