Table 1. Summary of the island microgrids. Recently, three unique stand-alone microgrid projects have been built at Dongfushan Island, Nanji Island, and Beiji Island in the east China, with an aim to replace diesel with renewable energy to improve renewable energy utilization, enhance power supply reliability, and reduce power supply cost.
Island microgrid (IM) systems offer a promising solution; however, optimal planning considering diverse components and alternatives remains challenging. Using China's Yongxing Island as a case study, we propose a novel indicator system integrating economic, resilience, energy, and environmental dimensions.
We propose a novel indicator system to evaluate island microgrid's performance. We identify the optimal energy configuration by HOMER and reference point method. Uncertainty analysis is conducted to the optimal energy configuration. Wind power dominates the power generation of Yongxing Island's microgrid.
Three representative island microgrids in the East China Sea are demonstrated. Key technologies such as control technology and energy management for island microgrids are studied. Renewable energy penetration is discussed for the design and operation of island microgrids.
Currently, wave power generation technologies are still in the exploration and development stage but can provide a local renewable energy option that is expected to play an important role in future sustainable development. As a result, solar, wind, and wave energy could be integrated into the microgrid of Yongxing Island to meet its energy demand.
Microgrids are an important solution to tackle the energy challenges of islands. Yongxing Island has a tropical monsoon climate with long annual sunshine hours and is surrounded by a vast sea area, making it suitable for utilizing solar, wind, and wave energy power generation technologies.
