Remote Community Wind-Hydrogen-Diesel Energy Solution: The Case of Ramea Island, Newfoundland
This article gives an overview of a wind-hydrogen- diesel energy system that will be implemented in the isolated electric grid of Ramea Island, located in Newfoundland, Canada. The electrical grid of Ramea Island, which currently relies on diesel and wind power, will incorporate a hydrogen storage and generator system that will allow increasing wind penetration rates and minimize fuel consumption. In this isolated power system, hydrogen will be produced from water electrolysis when the wind power output exceeds the load. The hydrogen gas is then compressed and stored in pressurized storage tanks. When the power output from the wind turbines is not sufficient to feed the isolated load, stored hydrogen utilized for power generation in a combustion engine. This demonstration project that provides a better understanding of the practical implementation of wind-hydrogen systems has the potential to be replicated in more than hundred remote communities across Canada.
