Abstract (EN): Isolated islanded energy systems do not have any connection to continental grids and nor do have an easy access to conventional energy sources. In order to face this specific challenge, El Hierro project on the small El Hierro island, Canary Islands, was put in practice. This project embodies the first major Megawatt-level energy project by linking energy storage systems with wind power generation using water storage delivered by the pumping system between two artificial lakes. In this paper, we analyse the project and discuss the first results after the inauguration.
