Most island regions are located in remote areas, making it difficult to establish stable connections with mainland power grids. However, they are abundant in solar resources, and fully utilizing solar energy for electricity generation will partially alleviate the current energy shortage on islands.
Storage services and architectures in islands are identified. Two storage designs emerge as of particular interest. Storage operating principles, remuneration schemes, and investments feasibility are discussed. Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration.
Solar thermal power generation with thermal storage exhibits good synergy and is suitable for power supply in island regions, but it involves high construction costs and difficulties in large-scale implementation.
The pathway towards the independence of non-interconnected island (NII) power systems from fossil fuel involves the massive implementation of variable renewable energy sources (RES) .
Electricity storage is crucial for power systems to achieve higher levels of renewable energy penetration. This is especially significant for non-interconnected island (NII) systems, which are electrically isolated and vulnerable to the fluctuations of intermittent renewable generation.
