“…Owing to the rapidly increasing load demand and excellent wind resources, many onshore and offshore wind turbines are expected to be installed in the Penghu area [28]. Taipower has chosen 13 places to build onshore wind farms in Penghu, and once these wind farms become operational, the installed capacity of wind power in Penghu is expected to reach approximately 125 MW.…”

Abstract:The abundant wind resources in the Penghu area, where the capacity factor of wind turbines can reach 45%, have inspired authorities to build more wind turbines in a diesel-based power system. However, because the wind turbine output is unstable, high wind power penetration in the system may relatively affect the power quality (voltage and frequency) and reliability of the system. Previous studies have suggested that the optimal penetration level for wind power generation under the present dispatching criteria in Penghu is 26.3%. The present study suggests that the criteria for current unit scheduling should be modified; in particular, the spinning reserve (SR) capacity of the diesel engines should be increased without affecting the reliability and power quality of the power system. Such an increase could help avoid the construction of high-cost energy storage systems.

“…As an evidence of this successful endeavour, Samso Island currently has 23MW of offshore wind power generation and 11MW of onshore wind power generation while all its demand needs are produced by RES. The Spanish El Hierro Island is also subject to an ambitious target of becoming a 100% renewable energy island and currently wind power penetration reaches 30% [43]. The South Korean Jeju Island is also an example of high wind power generation penetration.…”

“…In El Hierro Island, 9.9MW of hydropower capacity is installed with pumping capability. In this way, excessive wind power is used to pump water in the upper reservoir in order to achieve energy storage and cope with the intermittency and variability of wind power generation [43].…”

Insular electricity grids are considered to have a more fragile structure than the mainland ones due to several factors such as the lower inertia because of lower number of generation facilities connected to the system, absence or insufficient interconnection with the main grid, etc. The recent trend of integrating large portions of environmentally sustainable power generation units that have a significantly volatile nature in the generation mix (such as wind and solar energy conversion systems) within this fragile structure, poses profound challenges that need deeper and specific analysis. This study aims to provide an overview of insular power system structures and operational requirements, especially under increasing penetration of renewable energy sources. Firstly, a general evaluation of insular power systems is presented. Then, potential challenges are thoroughly discussed together with opportunities to tackle them. Future technological developments, as well as innovative applications are also given special attention. Hence, this paper contributes to the scarce literature regarding insular power systems by providing a critical overview of issues regarding their operation and possible solutions.

“…Wind power potential on the coastal, offshore, and on outlying islands is high. According to estimates, Penghu's terrestrial full-load capacity to generate wind power is as high as 3300-3900 h annually and has the highest wind power resources in Taiwan [1]. The coastal area from Taipei City to Changhua County has a potential 2800-3200 h of full-load wind power generation capacity.…”
