6 FAQs about [Port vila water storage power plant operation]
Why did diesel consumption increase in Port Vila?
By concession area, litres of diesel consumed in Port Vila concession increased by 0.2% while the other three concession areas also reported increase as follows, Luganville by 17.8%, Malekula by 17% and Tanna by 16.9%. The increase in diesel consumption was primarily due to increase in demand in all concession areas.
What is the peak demand for Luganville & Port Vila concessions?
The Luganville concession peak demand continues to grow consistently since 2017, whilst the Port Vila concession peak demand had decreased in 2019 by 1.60%. For peak demand reported by concession area, refer to Appendix 13.2 for corresponding years. Source: UNELCO & VUI Regulatory Reports
How many litres of copra oil were consumed in Port Vila & Malekula?
In 2017, no litres of copra oil were consumed in Port Vila or Malekula. Appendix 13.6 presents the liters of copra oil used. For the UNELCO concessions, the quantity of diesel and copra oil utilized monthly for electricity generation is used to compute the monthly electricity prices.
How does a pumped storage hydropower system affect the environment?
The construction of reservoirs and dams can alter local ecosystems, affecting water flow and wildlife habitats. High Initial Costs: Setting up a pumped storage hydropower system involves substantial initial investment. The costs of constructing reservoirs, dams, turbines, and generators can be prohibitive, impacting the feasibility of new projects.
How do dams work in pumped storage systems?
Controlled Release: The operation of dams in these systems is all about control. Releasing water from the upper reservoir through turbines generates power. This process is crucial during peak electricity demand periods. Design Efficiency: The design of dams in pumped storage systems is tailored to maximise energy storage and generation efficiency.
How does a pumped storage system change a river?
Changing the River's Flow: The cycle of storing and releasing water in pumped storage systems can change the natural water flow patterns in a river. It's not just about water levels; it's about how the river works – from moving sediment to the temperature.
