This work is devoted to attempts to find solutions to problems related to energy supply in remote, energy-isolated regions of Russia. At the moment, most of them receive electricity using diesel power plants. This solution brings with it a lot of problems starting from supply interruptions, and ending with the high cost of electricity and high maintenance costs of these stations. In Russia, these problems are most often encountered in the East of the country. This paper describes an attempt to solve the problems of isolated regions by implementing microgrid technology. The Republic of Yakutia is represented as the object of research. This technology is already widely used in different countries. Some use it to solve the problem of air emissions, while others use it to provide electricity to remote areas of the country. The microgrid is in most cases the use of a combination of traditional energy resources with renewable ones. At the moment, there are already more than 1000 micro grid projects around the world that include wind generators and solar power plants. In this work, microgrid simulations will be performed on the example of several settlements in Yakutia. The program specially created for these purposes – HOMER Pro is chosen as the modeling environment. Based on the results of the simulation, the main question will be answered: "Is it feasible to implement microgrid technology in isolated power systems in Russia?".
