Optimal configuration and analysis of isolated renewable power systems

The construction of isolated renewable power systems is an important way to solve the power supply problems in remote areas and islands. In this paper, by using simulation software HOMER, the analysis of isolated renewable power systems is carried out in which the system configuration of a real island is simulated. And then the optimal capacity configuration of isolated renewable power systems, including installed capacity of renewable energy generation, energy storage systems, power electronic converters and diesel generators, is analyzed thoroughly. The simulation shows the results of different configurations and the factors affecting system configuration and operating parameters. Moreover, the key factors and specific influences of the design of isolated renewable power systems are obtained. The results provide strong guarantees to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of initial design of isolated renewable power systems.
