RESUMO
Kinmen, the famous Cold War island also known as Quemoy, is a typical island with isolated power grids. It considers the promotion of renewable energy and electric charging vehicles to be two essential strategies to achieve the goal of a low-carbon island and smart grid. With this motivation in mind, the main objective of this study is to design and deploy an energy management system for hundreds of current PV sites distributed on the island, energy storage systems, and charging stations on the island. In addition, the real-time acquisition of the data for power generation, power storage, and power consumption systems will be used for future demand and response analysis. Moreover, the accumulated dataset will also be utilized for the forecast or prediction of renewable energy generated by the PV systems or power consumed by the battery units or charging stations. The results of this study are promising since a practical, robust, and workable system and database are developed and implemented with a variety of Internet of Things (IoT), data transmission technologies, and the hybrid of on-premises and cloud servers. Users of the proposed system can remotely access the visualized data through the user-friendly web-based and Line bot interfaces seamlessly.
