The second and third phases will focus on other islands and may include small wind, solar and storage applications. Remote microgrid challenges "We''re trying to understand the challenges of microgrids on remote islands in the middle of the Pacific. There''s logistical complexity," he said. Those complexities include cybersecurity.
