Faroe Islands Wind-Powered Space Heating Microgrid Using Self-Excited
A traditional Danish induction generator wind turbine has been erected on the island of Nólsoy to produce energy for space heating. The system is designed as a stand-alone microgrid, which needs its own control of frequency and voltage.
Frequency and Voltage Stability Towards 100% Renewables in
This study focuses on the power system of Suðuroy, Faroe Islands, which is in the transition towards 100% renewables. The impact of three events on the frequency and voltage responses has been simulated based on 2020, 2023, 2026 and 2030 and with different settings using a measurement validated model.
Microgrids
The residents of the Faroe Islands have set up their own microgrid. A microgrid is an autonomous local network of distributed power sources and loads. It can operate either independently ("island mode") or linked to the main power grid.

The residents of the Faroe Islands have set up their own microgrid. A microgrid is an autonomous local network of distributed power sources and loads. It can operate either independently (island mode) or connected to the main power grid. When linked to the main power grid, it can supply or receive power.

Energy is fundamental to modern society. Increase in the price of oil as well as environmental concerns have spurred the use of alternative renewable energy sources. In the Faroe Islands, the readily available wind energy is an obvious source for space heating. Seasonal correlation exists between wind energy and required space heating and mismatches can be reduced by using

wind energy for space heating in the Faroe Islands. Based on these facts it was decided to establish a wind-space heating project on the island of Nólsoy, a Faroese remote village inhabited by 250 people in 100 households. The idea to use wind for space heating is not new and a number of installations have been seen over the years, see

6 FAQs about [Faroe Islands pcc microgrid]
Does Faroe Islands have a space heating microgrid?
Faroe Islands Wind-Powered Space Heating Microgrid Using Self-Excited 220 kW Induction Generator.
How does a microgrid work in the Faroe Islands?
The residents of the Faroe Islands have set up their own microgrid. A microgrid is an autonomous local network of distributed power sources and loads. It can operate either independently (island mode) or connected to the main power grid. When linked to the main power grid, it can supply or receive power.
Are there alternative energy sources in the Faroe Islands?
Increase in the oil price as well as environmental concerns have spurred the use of alternative renewable energy sources. In the Faroe Islands the readily available wind energy is an obvious source for space heating.
Can Faroese space heating be converted to sustainable wind power?
The technology tested in this project has the potential to convert the bulk of Faroese space heating from current oil burners to sustainable wind power. The amount of wind penetration will depend on size of heat storages and backup systems will be needed during long low or no wind periods.
How much wind energy does the Faroe Islands have?
The Faroe Islands are ‘blessed’ with world record wind energy. In many locations average wind speed is above 10 m/s and wind turbines will typically produce energy with around 50% capacity factor. Albeit fluctuating, the average wind energy has more than double magnitude in winter (wind speeds mainly 10-15 m/s) compared to summer (5-10 m/s).
Do microgrids scale easily?
Microgrids do not scale easily. Each location is unique in terms of energy demand and available energy resources. In the case of the Faroe Islands system, the main requirement is to meet the demand for heat, and wind energy is available.
