“…A study using EnegyPLAN [29] showed a significant contribution of demand response as a moderation strategy to reduce energy imbalances and to an increase of wind power penetration into a national energy system. HOMER has been used mainly for planning renewable micro grids [30,31] and their optimal sizing [7,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38] based on the minimal levelized costs of energy (COE) and net present costs (NPC) criteria under different constraints. Its suitability for Serbia was proven by a comparison of measurement data [39].…”

With the integration of more variable renewable energy, the need for storage is growing. Rather than utility scale storage, smart grid technology (not restricted, but mainly involving bidirectional communication between the supply and demand side and dynamic pricing) enables flexible consumption to be a virtual storage alternative for moderation of the production of variable renewable energy sources on the micro grid level. A study, motivated with energy loss allocation, electric demand and the legal framework that is characteristic for the average Serbian household, was performed using the HOMER software tool. The decision to shift or build deferrable load rather than sell on site generated energy from variable renewable energy sources to the grid was based on the consumer's net present cost minimization. Based on decreasing the grid sales hours of the micro grid system to the transmission grid from 3,498 to 2,009, it was shown that the demand response could be included in long-term planning of the virtual storage option. Demand responsive actions that could be interpreted as storage investment costs were quantified to 1?2 per year in this article. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 42009: Smart grid]

“…), and economic data (interest rate, useful life, etc.). This study employed the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER), which is a simulation tool and is widely used to plan optimal microgrids [20][21][22][23], to determine whether to maintain an on-grid energy system or to setup an independent off-grid system in Jin-do and Wanddo. After simulating and optimizing the hybrid system configured to compare, HOMER can be used for the sensitivity analysis to input values that should be analyzed more [24,25].…”

Comparative Analysis of On- and Off-Grid Electrification: The Case of Two South Korean Islands

South Korea's main industry is the manufacturing industry, and it requires stable energy. Korea heavily relies on importing oils to produce energy, thus efficient energy management is critical. This is why many renewable and smart energy policies and infrastructure planning are being set up currently. Supplying reliable and sustainable renewable energy to remote areas has especially been questioned; therefore, adopting sustainable and clean energy based on renewable resources cannot be delayed any more. This research examines the most economically, technologically and environmentally suitable energy grid of two South Korean Islands. Several hybrid energy system configurations that analyze and identify the optimal grid-connected and grid-independent hybrid power generation systems are simulated in this study. According to the results of the study, the optimal regionally detached power generation system was the wind-PV-battery-converter hybrid system. At the end of this paper, implications and limitations are discussed.

This degree project studies the island mode microgrids or isolated microgrids of the National Interconnected System (SIN, for its acronym in Spanish) as an alternative to supply the energy demand of users located in rural areas designated as Non-Interconnected Zones (ZNI), for its acronym in Spanish) of the department of Cauca in Colombia.The motivation for the project arises from understanding a social problem and wanting to find a solution through renewable energy resources that is reliable, economically viable and efficient for the environment.
