4 FAQs about Smart microgrids on remote islands

What is resilience-oriented energy and load management for Island microgrids?

In this paper, we propose a novel resilience-oriented energy and load management framework for island microgrids, integrating a multi-objective optimization function that explicitly minimizes load curtailment, energy losses, voltage deviations, emissions, and energy procurement costs while maximizing the utilization of renewable energy sources.

Are microgrid solutions viable for isolated islands?

It is anticipated that this problem will be mitigated by practical and affordable microgrid (MG) solutions, which are developing quickly in the field of renewable energy resources (RES). This study explores, develops, and assesses viable microgrid solutions for isolated islands, using Indonesia as an example.

Where is the proposed microgrid located?

The proposed microgrid. Distributed generation (DG) resources powered by fossil fuels are strategically placed at buses 9, 18, and 30. Energy storage systems, essential for managing fluctuations in energy supply and demand, are situated at buses 6, 14, 21, 26, and 32, which also host solar energy installations.

How can a microgrid be sustainable and efficient?

The improvements in voltage stability, energy losses, and emissions reduction result from a well-balanced optimization of energy resources and network management strategies. These results validate the robustness of the approach in achieving sustainable and efficient microgrid operations under varying conditions.
