The island of Ushant, like many island communities,
faces major energy challenges, exacerbated by climate
change and dependence on fossil fuels. In this context,
the design of sustainable energy solutions, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring reliable access to
energy and maritime transport is essentiel. To achieve these
goals, a sizing simulation tool based on Matlab Simulink has
been developed. This tool integrates several renewable energy
sources, including wind, tidal turbines and photovoltaic
systems, as well as hydrogen production and storage.
The aim of this work is to model and evaluate different energy
scenarios for the island, taking into account its specific
energy demand and the needs of its maritime mobility. Taking
into account both local grid and maritime mobility energy
needs is one of the originality of this work. Four scenarios
have been formulated. The first and second aim to
achieve total energy autonomy for the island and its maritime
mobility, using a hybrid hydrogen vessel for the first
and a battery powered electric vessel for the second. The
third scenario ensures the complete coverage of the island’s
electrical load, whereas the fourth scenario covers only 70%,
maintaining dependence on fossil fuels for the remaining
30% and also for maritime mobility. In order to find the best
trade-off between cost and environmental impact in finding a sustainable and economically viable energy solution, a cost
(CAPEX) comparison is also proposed.< Leer menos
