Looking to address challenges at the local level, the roadmap recommends solar desalination in South Tarawa; a combination of wind power, PV and battery storage for Kiritimati Island; and renewable-based refrigeration for fish in the Outer Islands.
[pdf] “Storage” refers to technologies that can capture electricity, store it as another form of energy (chemical, thermal, mechanical), and then release it for use when it is needed. Lithium-ion batteriesare one such te.
[pdf] Emergency solar systems convert sunlight into stored electrical power for use during grid failures, operating independently from utility connections. Unlike grid-tied solar installations that feed power back to utilities, emergency systems focus on battery storage and immediate power availability.
