Modified control technique for Carbon Dioxide reduction, improve efficiency and power quality in small island energy network

The major objectives of a small island energy network management include the reduction of operating cost, fossil fuel dependency, Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) emission and improvement of price stability, operating flexibility and efficiency. In this paper a well defined control technique is proposed to regulate voltage and frequency for high penetration of renewable energy in small island system. The technique allows the improvement of efficiency and power quality indexes for critical loads while reducing CO₂ emissions. The standard IEEE 34 bus system is used for the small island energy network modeling. Three different cases were studied and simulated in this paper. The CO₂ emission, efficiency and power quality indexes have been calculated and compared for all three cases in order to verify the performance of the proposed control technique.
