Techno-economic analysis demonstrates effective renewable energy strategies for island systems, suggesting cost benefits of local production versus imports.

Key Points

To analyze the transition to 100% renewable energy in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, focusing on storage and power balancing strategies.
Utilized the EnergyPLAN model with EP-ALISON-LUT for scenario optimization.
Explored multiple scenarios for 2035 and 2050 across various energy sectors.
Compared the roles of domestic versus imported energy sources such as e-hydrogen and e-diesel.
Analyzed the impact of short and long-term storage solutions on system reliability.
Solar photovoltaics and battery storage are identified as dominant technologies.
Domestic e-fuel and hydrogen production achieved cost parity with imports by 2050.
Total system costs decline by over 17% while levelized costs of final energy decrease by 36% in optimal configurations.
Integration of e-hydrogen enhances flexibility and reduces energy curtailment.
