4 FAQs about Barbados base station wind power supply principle

Are wind turbines the cheapest way to generate electricity in Barbados?

This report outlines the results of a desktop study into the technical wind energy potential for the island of Barbados, and suggests next steps for developing this resource. The key findings are as follows: Given the excellent resources on the island, utility-scale wind turbines are the cheapest way to generate electricity in Barbados.

How much wind energy does Barbados need?

Hypothetically, there is enough land available in these zones for Barbados to generate nearly twice its current electricity demand solely from wind energy (472MW). Hohmeyer's 2014 study of a 100% renewable Barbados required 200MW of wind.

Is the wind resource in Barbados attractive for development?

Results of this desktop study show the wind resource in Barbados to be attractive for development. Given the wind resource is so high, and with installed costs for wind turbines currently around $2,200/kW, this would equate to a potential levelized cost of energy between BB$0.05/kWh and BB$0.12/kWh7.

How does WindPRO work in Barbados?

The WindPRO software is able to provide a useful insight into the Barbados wind resource. By way of an example, Figure 5 shows the wind speed distribution for wind speeds in Zone 4 – in short showing the probability that the wind speed will be a certain value.
