2 CONTENTS OF THE PRESENTATION Characteristics of Sustainable Communities Types of Sustainable Communities Description of on-going projects for enhanced sustainability Conclusions

3 SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES Rio summit: Agenda 21 EU White Paper for RES, Campaign for Take-off, ALTENER EU Green Paper on Security of Supply Kyoto Protocol

4 THE GOALS OF THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY Integration of new technologies and concepts in socio-economic development Intensive use of RES Diversify energy sources Social and economic benefits

5 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOLUTIONS Competitive cost of NRET (when compared to conventional solutions) High percentage of NRES Decentralised generation Satisfy the needs of a community INTEGRATION

6 INTEGRATION Integration of NRES: Wind, Biomass, Small hydro, Geothermal, Distributed Generation, PV and solar heating, hydrogen, energy storage. Rational use of energy (buildings, energy management, CHP...) is also important

7 TYPES OF COMMUNITY Islands (small/medium) Isolated rural areas Non-isolate urban areas (blocks of buildings, neighbourhoods in residential areas, commercial / light industrial developments)

44 CONCLUSIONS FOR PORTO SANTO A model for optimising integration of hydrogen storage with intermittent renewable energy sources (wind and solar) was devised Storage module can be upgraded to work with batteries or pump storage The model was applied to Porto Santo The results were intriguing

47 OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK To look at ways to increase the penetration of Renewable Energy Sources in Corvo and Graciosa Islands To test the potentiality of the developed H2RES model devoted to this kind of work. To build and fully model scenaria for the Corvo and Graciosa islands to increase security of supply, and reduce pollution, based on existing load and meteorological data and envisaging the following technologies: wind, solar PV, and batteries and hydrogen storage.

48 THE TARGET ISLANDS FOR THE CASE STUDIES

49 SCENARIA FOR GRACIOSA ISLAND MG.1 - An already planned enlargement by the local utility (EDA) of the wind park up to 53 kw with an imposed wind energy limit of 3% of the instant load in the system. MG.2 - The same conditions as in MG.1 + 2, m 2 of installed PV. MG.3-3% RE contribution: wind power 1,2 kw, no restrains on the percentage of renewable energy with variable output placed into the grid. MG.4 45% RE contribution to the annual consumption: 1,2 kw of wind power + 2 m 2 of PV, in the same conditions as in MG.3. MG.5 1% RE penetration: 9, kw of wind power + electrolyser with 8,9 kw power + 74 days hydrogen storage + fuel cell 1,6 kw power, allowing no renewable energy excess in the system. MG.6-1% RE penetration: 5, kw of wind power + 8, m 2 of PV + electrolyser with 8,5 kw power + 31 days hydrogen storage + fuel cell 1,75 kw power, allowing no renewable energy excess in the system.

57 RESULTS FOR GRACIOSA ISLAND kw to electrolyser H2 produced H2 retrieved fuel cell load RE output RE taken Hours MG.5 simulation, January 1, for this particular day more hydrogen is stored than retrieved

58 RESULTS FOR GRACIOSA ISLAND 3 25 H2 stored, kwh day MG.5 simulation, hydrogen stored during the year

59 CONCLUSIONS FOR GRACIOSA ISLAND The choice among the different scenaria depends mainly on comparing the costs of PV installation and of the hydrogen storage and on the available space. Due to actual high cost of PV, the scenaria involving only wind seems to be preferable.

60 SCENARIA FOR CORVO ISLAND MC.1 6% re contribution to the annual consumption: 6,5 m 2 PV + 15 kw (18h) battery power, no restrains on the percentage of renewable energy with variable output placed into the grid. MC.2 8% re contribution: 1, m 2 power, in the same conditions as MC.1. PV + 15 kw (36h) battery MC.3-1% RE penetration: 25, m 2 PV + 17 kw (6 days) battery power MC.4-75% RE contribution: 3 kw wind power, Pão de Açucar, + reversible hydro power plant (RHPP, 15 kw pump, 15 kw turbine, 2x2 m3 reservoir). MC.5-96% RE contribution: 3 kw wind power, Morra da Fonte, + RHPP (1 kw pump, 15 kw turbine, 2x2 m3 reservoir).

61 RESULTS FOR CORVO ISLAND kw to storage retrieved from batt electricity from batt load RE output RE taken Hours MC.2 simulation, January 1

62 RESULTS FOR CORVO ISLAND kw RE taken Diesel from batteries Hours MC.2 simulation, January 1, the source of electricity taken by the power system.

63 RESULTS FOR CORVO ISLAND Diesel 25% 1% hydro 14% hydro 13% wind 62% wind 76% MC.4 Pão de Açucar MC.5 Morra da Fonte

64 CONCLUSIONS FOR CORVO ISLAND For a small energy system, very high intermittent RE penetration can only be reached by energy storage. PV needs large area might be unacceptable for Corvo. Morra da Fonte excellent location for wind turbine, possible to achieve 9% RE penetration with 3 kw wind need for MT grid connection. Pão de Açucar needs more study with 3 kw wind turbine hard to achieve more than 75% RE penetration
