Can the Faroe Islands be a smart microgrid?

“The energy system in the Faroe Islands is an impressive example of how all available energy resources can be integrated into a smart and innovative microgrid,” says Vehkakoski.

How will the Faroe Islands' virtual power plant system work?

Designed to protect against sudden power failures, or decreases in the power production, the virtual power plant system, Power Hub, developed by Dong Energy, will provide the Faroe Islands with a more secure energy supply, allowing them to integrate the five-fold increase in wind generation planned over the next two years.

What is DONG Energy doing in the Faroe Islands?

Dong Energy and its Faroese partner SEV launched a smart grid system at ToàŒrshavn in the Faroe Islands. The Faroe Islands project uses a virtual power plant to recreate balance in an island power system by decoupling large industrial units automatically, in less than a second from the main power system and thereby avoid systemic blackouts.

How does the Faroe Islands project work?

The Faroe Islands project uses a virtual power plant to recreate balance in an island power system by decoupling large industrial units automatically, in less than a second from the main power system and thereby avoid systemic blackouts. In more technical terms the virtual power plant delivers so-called fast frequency demand response.
