ComAp – Sustainable & resilient power for a remote island (The Grenadines)

This case study describes the implementation of a hybrid microgrid on Mayreau Island, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, completed in May 2022. The project involved the installation of ComAp's InteliSys NTC Hybrid system to integrate solar photovoltaics (PV) and a 100 kW battery energy storage system (BESS) with existing diesel generators to reduce fuel costs and noise pollution.

• The project on Mayreau Island, completed in May 2022, utilized a hybrid microgrid consisting of PV, a 100 kW BESS, and four gen-sets. The system was made operational through the installation of ComAp's InteliSys NTC Hybrid system, which integrates renewable sources with diesel generators to maximize fuel savings and allow for the complete shutdown of diesel generators under certain conditions.
• The operationalization of the microgrid has led to significant reductions in fuel consumption and noise. According to VINLEC Island Operator Desmond Lewis, generators that previously ran 24/7 now only operate for approximately 6 to 7 hours.
