A set of study cases for the massive integration of solar renewables in non-interconnected areas
Résumé
The massive integration of solar renewable energies is challenging in non-interconnected areas such as remote islands or isolated regions. Indeed, their power grid, which cannot rely on the support of larger electricity networks, is more vulnerable to the inherent variability of the solar resource and grid failures, such as sudden breakdown of production units or transmission lines. The TwInSolar project, funded by the European Commission, aims to provide support and solutions to overcome the problems faced by island territories not connected to continental electricity grids. As a part of this project, four study cases are presented to the scientific community, each highlighting specific issues observed at different scales on the island of La Reunion. This article aims to provide a detailed description of the four selected systems, the corresponding challenges, and the data available.
