High Renewable Energy Penetrations within Isolated and Remote Area Power Systems

Isolated and Remote Area Power Systems utilizing renewable energy technologies to satisfy the majority (>50%) of their annual energy consumption are evaluated within this panel session. Isolated power systems face significant challenges under high renewable energy penetrations given the lack of system size and inertia. Papers presenting solutions to optimize system cost and performance, possibly involving renewable energy technologies, ancillary technologies or control and application methodologies are requested.
