Microgrids in Rural and Isolated Communities in Ireland Model Development using the island of Inis Oirr as a case study

Project Description

This project will develop a modelling tool for analysing the technical and economic feasibility of various microgrid solutions for rural and isolated communities. Inis Oírr in the Aran Islands will be used as a case study to develop the tool, and will provide a detailed technical and economic analysis of a number of potential microgrid solutions for serving the island's population of 250. The results of this case study will examine the potential for microgrid solutions for community energy projects in Ireland.
