Empowering Remote Islands and Unlocking Sustainable Energy: A Hybrid Off-Grid DC System Approach

The interconnectedness of energy consumption and human progress is evident, but environmental challenges stemming from global energy production persist. Remote islands rely heavily on fossil fuel imports for power, yet green energy and decarbonization advances offer solutions. Overcoming nature’s unpredictability and weather dependence through the precise integration of renewables and converters is crucial. This study proposes a hybrid off-grid DC System for a remote site called ‘Fuerteventura’ in Spain, incorporating PV panels, wind turbines, converters, batteries, and diesel generators, addressing both electric and thermal loads. Simulation outcomes reveal its adaptability to the site climates, potentially elevating renewable use and curbing CO
