[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.
The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.
While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.
Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

A grid-connected PV-diesel hybrid system has been designed and installed at one of the Outer Islands of the Maldives, as part of the SMILES project. Matching of demand and supply was thoroughly examined using the HOMER optimization programme. Data on daily load and efficiency of present diesel generators were collected as well as data on solar irradiation. The system simulations showed that with a daily load of 207 kWh/day the combination of a 12 kWp PV system with a battery backup capacity of 108 kWh would be optimum, given the most convenient strategy for the use of two differently sized diesel generators now present. Future demand growth can be accommodated by only a slight change in diesel generator operating strategy.
Keywords: small grid-connected PV Systems, hybrid, sizing, renewable energy, HOMER
