Island Ports Enable Long-Distance Electric Shipping
Shorter distance waypoints at island ports using swappable containerized energy storage enable long-distance electric shipping and allow a high degree of operational flexibility.
Energy Storage Applications in Specific Case Studies Numerous specific case studies have demonstrated how ESSs can be successfully applied in island systems to facilitate renewable energy integration and enhance grid stability.
3.2. Energy Storage Technologies and Their Role in Island Energy Systems Energy storage is widely recognized as a crucial facilitator of high renewable energy penetration in island systems [70, 71]. This thematic area explores different storage solutions, including BESSs, hydrogen storage, PHS, and flywheels.
The review eventually emphasizes the two predominant storage typologies for island applications; the centralized storage concept, where storage operates independently of renewable installations, and a hybrid concept, in which storage and renewables cooperate to inject controllable RES energy into the island grid.
The study suggests that interconnecting smaller island systems can provide significant benefits, including reduced energy costs and improved reliability. Reunion Island has set an ambitious goal to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030, using a comprehensive approach that combines solar, wind, and advanced energy storage technologies.
