2. Diesel generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_generator

   One or more diesel generators operating without a connection to an electrical grid are referred to as operating in island mode. Operating generators in parallel provides the advantage of redundancy and can provide better efficiency at partial loads.

3. Islanding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islanding

   If one island collapses, it will not take neighboring islands with it. For example, nuclear power plants have safety-critical cooling systems that are typically powered from the general grid. The coolant loops typically lie on a separate circuit that can also operate off of reactor power or emergency diesel generators if the grid collapses. [1] [2]

4. Renewable energy in Seychelles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_Seychelles

   This 6 MW power plant can produce up to 2% of the Seychelles' power [2] and is located on Mahé Island. It is expected that the wind farm will replace 1.6 million litres of diesel fuel annually. [3] The wind farm is expected to generate 7 GWh of electricity and the islands consume 350 GWh of electricity per year. [2]

5. Energy in the Cook Islands - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_Cook_Islands

   Electricity in the Cook Islands was historically produced by diesel generators on each island. [6] Fuel was imported from Auckland and required long sea voyages to get to the northern atolls, resulting in high costs and occasional supply disruptions. [7]

6. Mini-grid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-grid

   The diesel generator typically generates less than 10% of the energy consumed by mini grid customers on an annual basis. In areas where agricultural residues such as rice husk or animal manure are plentiful, biomass or biogas generators can take the place of diesel backup generation.

7. Energy in Guam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_Guam

   This is supplied by several plants burning residual fuel oil operated for the Guam Power Authority by independent power providers. In 2015 electricity cost 2.5 times as much on Guam as on the U.S. mainland. A new plant was proposed in 2014 which would replace all of these generators and run on either diesel or on liquified natural gas.
