Abstract
Small island grids in developing countries are faced with balancing priorities between maintaining energy security, reliability, affordability, and sustainability. As developing nations transition towards a decarbonised generation mix, it is important to appropriately balance all these aspects in power system development. The presentation will aim to address some technical considerations from a project development perspective when integrating variable renewable energy sources into small island grids.
