Abstract: This work assesses the potential of demand response on isolated hybrid renewable energy systems, in order to optimize the systems' dispatch by minimizing the operation costs and the peak demand. The developed methodology models the implementation of solar thermal systems to replace non-renewable systems for the domestic hot water supply, and a demand response strategy to manage the electric backup required from the grid, in days of low solar radiation. The implementation of this system is compared between 10 isolated islands with different scales and energy systems in order to identify the potential energy savings introduced by solar thermal systems with demand response capabilities under different conditions.
