[email protected] Abstract. Due to the increase in the price of oil and the attempt - Areas of high ecological importance, which are to meet the limits of established CO2 emissions, the technology of characterized by their wealth of natural resources and great microgrids (MGs) has been growing considerably for some years. biodiversity. Most of the reserves and natural parks are Its implementation is recommended above all in weak electrical within this group. networks, such as the networks of isolated areas and islands, with the aim of solving the typical quality problems in the supply of - Areas with scarce and deficient basic services, such as: such networks. energy, access to drinking water and communication. In this paper, the analysis to estimate the implementation of an isolated MG is carried out, located on islands in the Hordaland region of southwestern Norway. Special importance is given to the 2.
