Renewable Generation with Intelligent Storage and Consumption to Operate Distribution Networks with Auto-consumption Systems

Project dates:

Objective

Intelligent power controls and purpose-built Energy Management System combined with a battery storage system, a wind park and a photovoltaic power plant. The system allows to power the island by wind and solar energy with the existing diesel needed only for back-up power during prolonged periods of unfavorable weather.
