Abstract

The aim of this article is to present an energy plan for Guinea-Bissau based on the OMVG transmission network in the country and the integration of a photovoltaic plant at the Bissau substation to produce green hydrogen to serve the islands in the Bolama region. With the aid of the programs Anarede and Anatem, permanent power flow analysis and electromechanical stability studies were carried out to evaluate the connection of a 33 MWp solar plant. The transmission OMVG network was modeled and analyzed using static and dynamic contingency analysis. The result was effective and indicates that with this operation, Guinea-Bissau can expand its load through transmission lines and interconnect its administrative regions. The proposed P2G2P cycle evaluated two scopes of load, one for the total population in the islands and the other for a local community in Bolama. It showed that a solar plant of 4,5 MWp would supply the local community of 4400 people using P2G2P with a 1,35 MW electrolizer (270 Nm3 H2/h or 24 kg H2/h) and two 170 kW fuel cells cabinets consuming 576 kg H2 in a daily full load operation.
