Design Guidelines for Island Microgrid Systems Using Hybrid Solar-Wind Power Generation

Technical Implementation Framework for Standalone Renewable Energy Systems in Remote Island Communities with Solar PV and DFIG-Based Wind Energy Conversion

Key Points:

  • Remote island communities face significant challenges in accessing reliable grid power, requiring standalone energy solutions
  • A hybrid microgrid combining solar PV and wind power can provide reliable power even with moderate wind speeds (2.5-5 m/s)
  • Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and power electronic conversion optimization are essential for system efficiency
  • The solution can support community-level loads of 80kW primary and 170kW peak with proper resource sizing
