𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞: 𝐃𝐎𝐒𝐓, 𝐔𝐏 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

Efforts to modernize and strengthen island power systems continue to gain momentum as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the University of the Philippines Diliman (UP Diliman), and the Dinagat Islands Electric Cooperative (DIELCO) advance the implementation of Project GRIDPATCH (Grid Resilience and Intelligent Data Platform for Automation, Transformation, Control, and Harmonization).

As part of the project’s continuing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) development initiative, representatives from the DOST–Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI), UP Diliman’s Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute (UP EEEI), DOST Caraga, and DIELCO conducted a site assessment visit in San Jose, Dinagat Islands on May 11–12, 2026. The assessment team was led by 𝐒&𝐓 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐫. 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐃. 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐫. of DOST-ASTI; 𝐃𝐫. 𝐋𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐰 𝐑. 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐚, 𝐏𝐡𝐃, Director of UP Diliman EEEI; 𝐃𝐫. 𝐀𝐧𝐧 𝐎. 𝐓𝐢𝐛𝐞, 𝐂𝐄𝐒𝐄, Provincial Director of PSTO–Dinagat Islands; and 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐫. 𝐇𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐈. 𝐌. 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐥, Operations and Maintenance Head of DIELCO.

During the two-day activity, the team conducted further needs assessment, requirements elicitation, and evaluation of DIELCO’s readiness for SCADA system implementation. The visit also provided an opportunity to gather technical and operational inputs necessary to ensure that the proposed system aligns with the electric cooperative’s existing infrastructure and operational requirements.

Project GRIDPATCH aims to design and validate a modular, open-source SCADA system tailored to the operational realities of small, remote, and island-based electric cooperatives, with DIELCO serving as the pilot implementation site. Through the project, the collaborating institutions seek to strengthen grid resilience, enhance automation capabilities, and promote data-driven decision-making in island power distribution systems. The initiative is also expected to serve as a scalable and replicable model for other isolated electric cooperatives nationwide.

The project likewise supports the national science and technology agenda of DOST, which emphasizes transforming scientific innovations into tangible and inclusive benefits for Filipino communities. Through GRIDPATCH, the partner institutions reaffirm their commitment to modernizing energy systems and enabling future-ready island communities through science, technology, and innovation.

[FEATURED EEEI PUBLICATION]
Every month, we will be featuring EEEI publications as part of highlighting the exemplary research work of our faculty, researchers, and students.

For May 2026, we feature the paper of EEEI's Arvin Escultero and Dr. Carl Michael Odulio entitled, "Performance Analysis of Constant Current LCC Resonant LED Driver"

This paper has also been awarded the International Publication Award by the UP System.
Abstract:
LEDs, with their high efficacy and consistent wavelength, are well-suited for indoor farms, but they require a high-power current source driver. Resonant converters are favored for their soft-switching capability, enabling efficient operation at higher frequencies. Notably, the LCC topology excels in functioning as a current source. However, component tolerances can shift the desired operating frequency, leading to higher costs for precision components. To address this, an LED driver based on the LCC resonant converter operating at constant current frequency (CCF) was designed, simulated, and tested. This driver includes a feature to track the LCC’s CCF, ensuring constant current output despite component tolerances. A 120W prototype verified the design, delivering constant current efficiently over a wide dimmable range to LED strings. An algorithm was developed to maintain the desired operating frequency, resulting in an efficient current source driver with dimming capabilities and precise frequency tracking for the LCC resonant converter.
