From diesel dependency to clean autonomy: powering islands through solar and smart storage

Island power systems are uniquely constrained by limited infrastructure and high fossil fuel dependency. Transitioning to a greener energy supply requires not just the right assets—but also the intelligence to orchestrate them. Energy Pool provides a complete, autonomous microgrid management solution to make that shift reliable, economic, and resilient.

Client needs

  • Decarbonise the power supply of two island territories

  • Progressively replace diesel gensets with solar PV and batteries

  • Ensure grid stability (voltage and frequency) while integrating variable renewables

60% Fuel saving in 1 year
- 40% CO2 emissions per year

Energy Pool outputs

A turnkey microgrid orchestration platform to support the full decarbonisation journey:

  • Local Microgrid Controller (PMS)

    • Real-time optimisation of island operations: balancing, voltage regulation, and frequency control to stabilise the system autonomously.

  • EMS Cloud Platform

    • 24-hour energy forecasting and optimised dispatch profiles sent directly to the PMS for seamless integration of solar and storage.

  • Fully Autonomous Operations

    • Since December 2022, the site operates independently using Energy Pool’s end-to-end microgrid intelligence—from forecasts to real-time dispatch—without manual intervention.
