Descripción

Integrating renewables into existing diesel microgrids without large battery storage and microgrid control systems is difficult. Maximizing renewable generation means that existing generators are required to change setpoints frequently and may be forced to run at sub-optimal levels that affect performance and maintenance. These systems are intended for BC’s remote communities. For context, this could mean that there is no road access (boat or barge only), or access via 12 hours of driving on gravel logging roads. Connectivity and Internet access may not be reliable for troubleshooting, and systems should not require an unreasonable amount of maintenance. The preferred renewable generation technologies for remote communities in British Columbia are solar, small hydro (including run-of-river), biomass combined heat and power, and to some extent, wind.

Incentivo

-Diesel generation is widely used across the globe to generate power in remote communities due to its reliability and ability to follow community load profiles. -100% displacement of diesel with renewables is not always possible, or desirable, and the integration.
