ComAp – Sustainable & resilient power for a remote island (The Grenadines)
Summary
Completed in May 2022, a project on Mayreau Island utilized ComAp's InteliSys NTC Hybrid system to operationalize a previously dormant hybrid microgrid consisting of photovoltaics (PV), a 100 kW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), and four diesel generators. The system allows for the maximization of solar energy and the shutdown of diesel generators under certain conditions, reducing fuel costs and noise pollution for the local community.
Key insights
- The project operationalized a hybrid microgrid on Mayreau Island comprising PV, a 100 kW BESS, and four diesel generators using the InteliSys NTC Hybrid system to integrate these sources and maximize fuel savings.
- The implementation of the control system allows the microgrid to maximize solar contribution and, in specific conditions, shut down all diesel generators while the BESS and PV support the load, leading to lower fuel costs and reduced noise.
