What is the Dongao Island smart microgrid project?

Project structure The Dongao Island megawatt-level independent smart microgrid project was China’s first megawatt-level microgrid system with complementary wind, solar, diesel, and energy storage, and was also China’s first commercial-run island smart microgrid system. The project was constructed in two phases.

Do Island microgrids work in the East China Sea?

Three representative island microgrids in the East China Sea are demonstrated. Key technologies such as control technology and energy management for island microgrids are studied. Renewable energy penetration is discussed for the design and operation of island microgrids.

What are the island microgrids?

Table 1. Summary of the island microgrids. Recently, three unique stand-alone microgrid projects have been built at Dongfushan Island, Nanji Island, and Beiji Island in the east China, with an aim to replace diesel with renewable energy to improve renewable energy utilization, enhance power supply reliability, and reduce power supply cost.

Where are microgrids located in China?

Three stand-alone island microgrids with distinctive features have been built and are operating normally, which are located in the Dongfushan, Beiji, and Nanji islands along the Zhejiang coast, as shown in Fig. 1. The three islands are about 40–80 km apart. Particularly, Dongfushan is the farthest eastern inhabited island in China.

What is the control system for the Nanji Island microgrid?

The control system for the Nanji Island microgrid is based on the IEC61850 standard , which coordinates the three control layers using an MMS protocol for between-layer communication and a GOOSE protocol for within-layer communication.

What is a permanent Islanded microgrid?

The permanent islanded microgrid is standalone networks and normally applied in the remote districts uncovered by the large power grids, such as countryside, island (in the sea), etc. It operates independently to meet the load demand by the DGs(Diesel Generators) or ESS(Energy Storage System) within microgrids.
