COOK ISLANDS RES ENERGY STORAGE
Islands with existing energy storage facilities (hydro power) can access to cheaper, pumped hydro storage, and consequently, can achieve higher RE penetration levels more easily.
View DetailsThe pathway towards the independence of non-interconnected island (NII) power systems from fossil fuel involves the massive implementation of variable renewable energy sources (RES) .
Centrally managed storage facilities in island power systems dominate the relevant literature. Table 4 includes the papers dealing with the centrally managed storage concept. Table S2 of the Supplementary data and Fig. 7 present additional details for the most representative ones.
Specifically, the research team of [60, 175, 176] argues that the small island systems can operate effectively under high RES penetration levels either by deploying battery energy storages to alleviate RES variations or by imposing the diesel generators to operate below their technical minimum loading levels, down to zero, to perform the same task.
Significant research has also been conducted on the dynamic behavior of island systems in the presence of storage and the feasibility of storage investments. On the other hand, the contribution of storage to resource adequacy in islands has received limited investigation, presenting opportunities for further research in this area.
