Analysis of Performance and Opportunity for Improvements in the Microgrid of Ilha Grande

Refurbishment of the microgrid on Ilha Grande, Brazil, led to significant improvements in efficiency and power quality. The study compared pre- and post-refurbishment performance, demonstrating enhanced system reliability and capacity to meet growing energy demands. This analysis highlights the potential of microgrids as sustainable solutions for remote islands, offering insights into optimizing existing infrastructure while addressing end-of-life equipment challenges.
