Reliability and management of isolated smart-grid with dual mode in remote places: Application in the scope of great energetic needs

• Hybrid solution for high power consumptions.
• Photovoltaic and wind generation, energy storage and fuel saving for off-grid energy solutions.
• Automatic smart-grid management for instable distribution main.
• Remote monitoring of hybrid generation.

Energy needs increases day by day in those areas of the world where the electrical distribution lines are not available. This situation limits the industrial and economic development of these areas as well as the establishment of the population, so that it facilitates the exodus and the uprooting of people. At the moment the electrical energy supply in remote areas is based on solutions with generator sets, consuming great amounts of fuel with a great environmental damage. The technological development of renewable energies and the new concepts for their management, make possible proposing off-grid generation solutions for providing great amount of energy with high quality and reliability. Along this paper, a smart-grid configuration is proposed which is developed with products of proved reliability and which uses renewable energies as main generation source. This configuration allows having “standard” grid services anywhere, without the need of connection to the traditional grid. Environmental, economic and operation benefits of using these technologies against traditional solutions are also presented in this paper. This proposed solution allows the economical development and exploitation of areas where due to the lack of energy or to the energy cost it has not been possible until now.
