To foster the transition toward a sustainable energy future, islands represent a priority test bed for pioneering technologies such as smart grids, alongside renewable energy sources and electrical energy storage devices. The smart grid initiative, integrating advanced sensing technologies, intelligent control methods, and bidirectional communications into the contemporary electricity grid, provides excellent opportunities for energy efficiency improvements and better integration of distributed generation, coexisting with centralized generation units within an active network.
A large share of the installed capacity for recent renewable energy sources already comprises insular electricity grids, since the latter are preferable due to ...
