Insular energy system : ウィキペディア英語版 | Insular energy system
An insular energy system or isolated energy system is defined by a country’s inability, due to smallness and/or remoteness, to interconnect with other electricity generators and consumers through a wider transmission grid outside its national borders. As a result, the country cannot take advantage of the more efficient neighboring electricity markets. This type of energy system is typically detected in small islands or in mainland countries where the costs for constructing infrastructure for power transmission purposes are prohibitively high, or in cases where a country may be isolated due to political issues. ==Energy Mix==
The energy mix of insular energy systems is dominated by diesel and heavy fuel oil.〔 The vast amounts of imported fossil fuel necessary to fulfil the energy needs of these systems create instability in the economy as well as the security of the countries. Additionally, the domination of fossil-fueled energy generation is strongly supported by several other factors, including the inefficiency of indigenous energy resources, the limited infrastructure of energy delivery, the lack of storage, and the flexibility of the power generators to meet seasonal needs.〔 Insular energy systems typically have only a few independent power producers and a limited range of power generation technologies.〔〔 Furthermore, there is lack of attractive support schemes or incentives for the progression of the system from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon energy sources. At the same time, their efforts to meet international or European obligations often fail and are normally also costly.
