Just a brief casual Friday post: Two schematic Sankey diagrams showing energy supply scenarios for an island.

Scenario 1 relies on solar thermal power and a tidal wave power plant. Mainland connection available (for backup?)

Scenario 2 with wind power and heat pumps.

Who can tell the island’s name by the cloud-like shape depicted at the top right…? :-)

    I find this incredibly interesting since I’m currently living on the Island of Mindoro in the Philippines. Because the power is so flaky here, they are working on a wind power project (which may take 3-4 years). As they progress with construction, I’ll be referring back here to compare similarities!

    Thanks
