| Project Title | Effective use of Renewable Energy Resources in Remote Communities using SMARTGrid Technology |
Summary
SMARTGridTech project proposes to focus on a number of key challenges facing the application of micro-grids in relation to efficient use of renewable energy sources in remote, sparsely populated, communities. The aim is to improve energy system reliability and resilience for secure, continuous supply of power; enabling improved quality of life, the ability to protect key community services and facilities from power failure, together with improved energy efficiency and infrastructure management facilities.
The common challenges relate to restricted adoption of micro-grids include the interface, control and protection requirements for each micro source, micro-grid voltage and frequency control, power flow control, load sharing during islanding, protection, stability and overall operation. It is expected that the adoption and implementation of micro-grid technology in NPA will help remote areas to reduce resilience on conventional power systems using fossil fuels with poor energy efficiency that create environmental pollution.
Objectives
The objective of the preparatory project is to develop a high quality main project application.
