Preface
Island countries are extremely vulnerable to the risks of climate changes. These island nations will suffer an uneven share of the global consequences when climate change accelerates. Furthermore island countries are highly reliant on imported fossil fuel (diesel and petroleum), which are not only major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions but are also very expensive. The new concepts and ideas to develop renewable energy (RE) based power grid in Island countries will reduce fossil fuel consumption and assist the transition to a low-carbon economy but to achieve that RE based power grid, a number of issues need to be addressed. In Island countries, a number of small islands
