Strategic Frameworks support for the Bahamas through UNIDO and CTCN

For continued reliability of the whole power supply of the country, it is critical that system operators understand the potential impacts of variable generation on their systems. This technical assistance will develop a comprehensive methodology for assessing the stability of the power grid and provide a customized solution to enhance the country’s ability to accommodate 30% renewables. This project will identify a set of critical scenarios that are most challenging for the operation of the current Bahamas grid with 30% renewables. Under each critical scenario, the project team will conduct a comprehensive dynamic analysis to identify the potential stability issues and evaluate the consequences. The planned stability assessment will include studies on frequency response, transient stability, and voltage stability. This project will work with local stakeholders to provide a customized plan of recommended practices and technologies to improve The Bahamas grid’s ability to accommodate significantly more clean energy. Through this work, system operators will achieve the capability to continue to advance national policy objectives while maintaining power reliability, security, and efficiency.
