“…Many researchers have dealt with downtown areas and islands [27,28]. Recently, there also has been research on green islands and their influence on both energy independence and hybrid power systems in Southeast Asian countries, especially in South Korea (Table 1) [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which are produced through the combustion of fossil fuels, cause climate change. Unfortunately, South Korea is highly dependent on fossil fuels because of its industrial nature. However, many islands in South Korea have the potential to generate a considerable amount of renewable energy, which should be studied. KEPCO (Korea Electricity Power Corporation), which runs micro-grid facilities in Gasado Island in Jindo, South Korea, built micro-grid facilities in Mozambique in 2015. The micro-grid construction of Gasado Island is considered one of the most successful micro-grid projects of KEPCO, so KEPCO is hoping to expand energy development overseas and become a top-tier global power company. This study aims to find a more technologically and economically optimal hybrid energy system for Gasado Island that KEPCO should have built. We also compared this optimal solution to the Korean government plan. The Korean government plan is the same as the KEPCO plan because KEPCO is classified as a market-oriented public corporation under the Act on the Management of Public Institutions. In the final section of this paper, both the implications and limitations are discussed in detail.

“…These values were calculated using a previous reference, which is a report issued in 2011 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) [32]. In the previous research, the annual O&M costs of PV panels were assumed to be approaching 0 [33].…”

“…Considering the exchange rate, we assumed the initial installation costs, replacement costs, and annual O&M costs of the BWC Excel-s model as $15,041, $15,041, and $92, respectively. These costs were also based on the report published in 2011 by the IPCC [32], as well as the recommendations of interview results with experts from Korea South-East Power and the Korea Electric Power Corporation Research Institute. We also assumed the lifetime of the BWC Excel-s model and the height of the hub as 15 years and 30 m, which have been used the most in previous research, respectively.…”

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.

“…After sizing the storage or backup/auxiliary components a single-objective optimisation search can be carried out to find the optimum size of the renewable components. Most of the literature on design of standalone HRES adopt this approach; for instance see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In deterministic optimal sizing of a standalone wind-PV-diesel hybrid system, the margin of safety applied on the demand load affects the nominal size of the diesel generator and consequently the reliability of the power supply and the levelised cost of produced energy.…”

Uncertainties in renewable resources, demand load and power modelling make deterministic methods of multi-objective optimisation fall short in optimal design of standalone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES). Firstly, deterministic methods of analysis, even in the absence of uncertainties in cost modelling, do not predict the levelised cost of energy accurately. Secondly, since these methods ignore the random variations in parameters, they cannot be used to quantify the second objective, reliability of the system in supplying power. It is shown that for a given site and uncertainties profile, there exist an optimum margin of safety, applicable to the peak load, which can be used to size the diesel generator towards designing a cost-effective and reliable system. However, this optimum value is problem dependent and cannot be obtained deterministically. For two design scenarios, namely, finding the most reliable system subject to a constraint on the cost and finding the most costeffective system subject to constraints on reliability measures, two algorithms are proposed to find the optimum margin of safety. The robustness of the proposed design methodology is shown through carrying out two design case studies.Keywords: design under uncertainties; hybrid renewable energy systems; wind-PV-diesel; probabilistic reliability analysis; multiobjective optimisation IntroductionIn optimal design of standalone hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES), reli...
