Fiji is located in the South Western part of the Pacific between latitude 18° S and longitude 179° E. In 2018, Fiji has spent approximately FJD 800 million in importing fossil fuel to meet the rising energy demand in the country. In the previous year’s several solar PV and wind resource assessments has been done and results obtained indicated that there is a potential for grid connected electricity generation using recommended resources. This study was carried out in the Nasawana Village (16°55.3 S and 178°47.4 E) to determine the options to use electricity derived from the wind. Wind analysis was carried out using Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) that predicted the wind speed of 6.96 ms−1 and a power density of 256 Wm−2 at 55 m a.g.l. The annual energy production predicted for a single wind turbine (Vergnet 275 kW) is approximately 631.6 MWh with a capacity factor of 26%. The cost of energy per kWh is estimated as FJD 0.10 with a payback period of 7 years.

斐济瓦努瓦岛 Nabouwalu Nasawana 村周围风能资源的潜力

斐济位于南纬 18 度和东经 179 度之间的太平洋西南部。 2018 年，斐济已花费约 8 亿斐济元进口化石燃料，以满足该国不断增长的能源需求。在前一年的若干太阳能光伏和风能资源评估中，获得的结果表明，使用推荐资源进行并网发电具有潜力。本研究在 Nasawana 村（南纬 16°55.3 度和东经 178°47.4 度）进行，以确定使用风电的选项。使用 Wind Atlas 分析和应用程序 (WAsP) 进行风分析，预测 6.96 ms-1 的风速和 256 Wm-2 的功率密度在 55 m agl 预测单个风力涡轮机（Vergnet 275 kW）的年发电量约为 631.6 MWh，容量系数为 26%。每千瓦时的能源成本估计为 0.10 斐济元，投资回收期为 7 年。
