Energy is fundamental to modern society. Increase in the price of oil as well as environmental concerns have spurred the use of alternative renewable energy sources. In the Faroe Islands, the readily available wind energy is an obvious source for space heating. Seasonal correlation exists between wind energy and required space heating and mismatches can be reduced by using

DONG Energy and Schneider Electric To Focus on Optimizing

According to Ivan Kristian Pedersen, who is in charge of Power Hub Technologies at DONG, the system has demonstrated its ability to optimize, balance and improve the stability of remote microgrids on Denmark''s Faroe Islands, situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Faroe Islands Wind-Powered Space Heating Microgrid Using Self-Excited

This paper proposes scheduling of induction generators on a DC microgrid system fed by multiple cage-rotor induction generators (CRIGs) to attain regulated voltage with minimal battery support.

6 FAQs about [Faroe Islands microgrid control system]

Does Faroe Islands have a space heating microgrid?

Faroe Islands Wind-Powered Space Heating Microgrid Using Self-Excited 220 kW Induction Generator.

How does a virtual power plant work in the Faroe Islands?

In November 2012 the Faroe Islands became the first place in the world where a virtual power plant was used to recreate balance in an island power system by decoupling large industrial units in less than a second from the main power system, thereby avoiding blackouts.

Can Faroese space heating be converted to sustainable wind power?

The technology tested in this project has the potential to convert the bulk of Faroese space heating from current oil burners to sustainable wind power. The amount of wind penetration will depend on size of heat storages and backup systems will be needed during long low or no wind periods.

Are there alternative energy sources in the Faroe Islands?

Increase in the oil price as well as environmental concerns have spurred the use of alternative renewable energy sources. In the Faroe Islands the readily available wind energy is an obvious source for space heating.

What software does Schneider Electric use for microgrids?

Starting in November 2014, Schneider Electric will deploy its suite of advanced software applications for microgrids including SCADA, advanced distribution management system (ADMS), power plant controller and weather forecasting systems built on DONG’s existing PowerHub system.

How much wind energy does the Faroe Islands have?

The Faroe Islands are ‘blessed’ with world record wind energy. In many locations average wind speed is above 10 m/s and wind turbines will typically produce energy with around 50% capacity factor. Albeit fluctuating, the average wind energy has more than double magnitude in winter (wind speeds mainly 10-15 m/s) compared to summer (5-10 m/s).
