Abstract :
The aim of this work is to explore the static conduct of an islanded micorgrid. A technical economic study is performed. Many parameters and aspects such as renewable resources availability, fuel price, microgrid components, and dispatch strategies are examined to see their effect on microgrid operation and cost effectiveness. The study is performed on Desertores Island microgrid example. A comparison is made also with Tunisia using the same system but with Tunisian climate data and fuel price. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources) software is very useful to perform such study.
