Grid Connected Photovoltaic Electricity Supply on Tokelau: Hardware Specification Feasibility Study Report

This report was prepared by Gerhard Zieroth for the UNDP/ UNESCO. The present study evaluates the technical, economical, financial and institutional feasibility of grid-connected photovoltaic power generation for the islands of Tokelau. It compares various options and identifies a solution that shows the best Economic Rate of Return. It also defines the hardware requirements for the system configuration preferred by Tokelau Power Systems (TPS). keywords: renewable energy, solar photovoltaic, PV, grid connected
