Renewable Energy Microgrid

Island Power Solutions commissioned CoreFlow EPC to design and construct a renewable energy microgrid system to provide sustainable power for the remote Orkney Islands community, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and improving energy security.

System Components:

• 5 MW wind turbine installation
• 2 MW solar photovoltaic array
• Battery energy storage system (10 MWh)
• Smart grid control and management

Grid Integration:

• Islanding capability for energy independence
• Grid-tie functionality for surplus export
• Load balancing and demand response
• Weather prediction and generation forecasting

Community Impact: The microgrid provides 95% renewable energy, reduces electricity costs by 45%, and serves as a model for other remote communities seeking energy independence.
