Islanded Power System Operations on a Highly Renewable Grid
KIUC has operated an islanded power system with a high penetration of renewable energy sources. This presentation delves into the unique challenges and innovative solutions KIUC has implemented to achieve its impressive progress toward a 100% renewable energy grid. This presentation will discuss the inherent challenges of managing an isolated grid without the stability benefits of interconnected mainland systems, explore the diverse mix of renewable resources utilized by KIUC, including solar, wind, hydroelectric, and battery storage. The presentation will highlight innovative solutions like grid-forming inverters and share valuable insights gained from KIUC’s experience and discuss the roadmap for achieving 100% renewable energy target.
