Presentation

The islands, heavily dependent on the continental energy market, suffer from several obstacles in the traditional power grid model, including an over-reliance on fossil fuels and imported energy. In addition, islands, due to their tourism activities, have highly variable seasonal load profiles. Predicting, monitoring and managing variable load profiles is essential. If combined with energy storage technology and a greater share of renewable energy, islands could benefit from greener, more stable and resilient power grids.
