Hybrid energy generation for remote islands in the Philippines
Introduction
The Philippines includes a large number of islands and areas which, due to their geography, are excluded from the main electricity grid. Ensuring fossil free energy access at these remote locations requires solutions that differ from standard large-scale systems.
The study explores different suitable and cost-effective hybrid energy systems to provide energy to a selected number of small islands in the Philippines. Currently, the typical solution is to use diesel generators.
The aim is to reduce CO2 emissions and enable a transition to renewable energy-based systems for small remote islands off the main grid.
