Integrating power systems for remote island energy supply: Lessons from Mykines, Faroe Islands
This study investigates the challenges and opportunities facing the installation of a hybrid hydrogen-renewable energy system in a remote island area disconnected from any main power grid. Islands with strong wind energy potential have the potential to become self-sufficient energy generating hubs t...
