The world electricity sector faces a transition period, in which the growing environmental awareness of the consumer is combined with the possibility of generating electricity locally in smaller dimensions. The decentralization of generation and the large-scale dissemination of communication networks in the electrical system pave the way for the so-called smart grids.Another global aspect is decarbonization and the search for renewable energy matrices. In Brazil, a gradual increase in electricity generation through renewable energy sources can be seen. Within this context, on-grid and off-grid microgrids are a viable alternative for the integration of local sources and loads in a controlled way, promising greater energy efficiency and reliability. This work presents a pilot project, being a microgrid installed on an island in the state of Paraná in Brazil, aiming to meet the local loads that were served exclusively by means of a diesel generator. The network has a storage system, a photovoltaic system, a diesel generator and a control system that analyzes the best way of operation, dispatching the sources according to the available scenarios.
