Mission statement “Caribbean branch office TNO”

Take advantage of the nearly constant extreme supply of sun, wind, waves and salt spray in the Cariben in conducting research and field testing of renewable energy technology to make them fitter

for the tropics.

Sustainable housing

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Challenges:

• Re-use common sense in modern houses

• Upgrade old technology for more comfort

• Within building budgets

• Accessible for everybody (social housing)

SWAC Cooling

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Challenges:

• Built cooperation's

• Multiple use of cold water

• Back-up system if failure

Biogas from Biomass

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Biogas from Biomass

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Challenges:

• Constant quality biomass

• Constant quality digestion (biogas)

• Waste separation at the source or at the plant needed

Wave-energy

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Wave-energy

Challenges: • Less than e.g. in the North

Sea • Maintenance (fast

replacement), serial system • Secured offshore area • Still pilot phase

Smart Grids

Energia Konsiente March 2012 jan.ebbing@tno.nl

Little experience, but the most critical detail for island grids:

• Guarantee grid stability, with decentralize energy sources

• Guarantee electrical current quality (variable frequencies)

• Need for demand side management

• Buffering (no batteries !)
