Proposal: Implementing Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH) in Grenada
Executive Summary This proposal outlines a plan for Grenada to adopt Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH) as a renewable energy solution to pump water uphill to a dam, storing potential energy for electricity generation. This system enhances grid stability, reduces fossil fuel dependence, and utilizes Grenada’s renewable resources for a sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure. With SAH, water utilized for energy production can be repeatedly used to generate energy around the clock.
Background & Need Grenada faces rising energy costs, vulnerability to global fuel price fluctuations, and increasing electricity demands. With limited land and reliance on imported fossil fuels, the country must innovate by maximizing its renewable potential, particularly wind and hydropower.
Project Concept
Stand-Alone Hydro (SAH): This system involves two reservoirs: a lower reservoir and an upper reservoir (dam). SAH pumps water from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir, reusing it to generate energy each time it flows down through turbines, producing electricity.
Key Benefits Energy Stability: Smooths out fluctuations from wind power, ensuring a continuous supply.
Reduced Fossil Fuel Dependence: Less need for diesel or heavy fuel generators.
Resilience & Sustainability: Builds climate-resilient energy systems aligned with Grenada’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Economic Efficiency: Stores surplus renewable energy that would otherwise be wasted, enhancing the economic return on renewable investments.
Site Selection Considerations Topography: Identify appropriate locations with natural elevation differences, such as hills and mountains, for reservoir pairing. Environmental Impact: Perform impact assessments to reduce disruption to local ecosystems and water systems.
Implementation Plan Feasibility Study: Hydrological analysis Wind energy resource assessment Technical design and costing
Environmental & social impact assessment
Pilot Phase:
Install a small-scale SAH system Monitor performance and refine models
Scale-Up Phase:
Expand to larger reservoirs and turbine networks
How the system works When water falls from the top of the dam, it strikes the Vertical Power Generation system and flows into the dedicated reservoir. The water is then pumped back to the top of the dams using the power generated by the Vertical Power Generation system. With the system installed at the bottom of the dam, it can address water shortage issues.
How the SAH system works
Conclusion This proposed Stand-Alone Hydro system and the off-grid vertical-axis wind turbines offer Grenada a clean, reliable, and scalable path toward energy independence. By pioneering this innovative renewable energy combination, Grenada can become a model for small island developing states (SIDS) worldwide.
