Islands with Innovative Projects

5 Kythnos Innovative Projects (1)

 Kythnos is an island in the Western with a population of 1.632 people and its 5-year Average Peak Demand is 3,1 MW.

 The island has been a pilot site for many innovative projects which have taken place on the island during the last three decades

 1982 - The first Wind Park in Europe (5x20kW)

 1983 - 100 kWp PV system with Battery storage (400kWh)

 1989 - Replacement of the wind turbines (5x33kW)

 1992 - Inverters in the PV system

 1998 - The new Vestas 500kW wind turbine

 2000 - Operation of a fully automated power system with 500kW battery storage and a 500kW Wind Turbine

 2001 - Operation of a Microgrid electrifying 12 houses with intelligent autonomous Load Control

6 Kythnos Innovative Projects (2)

 Kythnos Microgrid in Gaidouromantra, consists of 12 houses with PVs and Batteries (52 kWh), 9 kVA Diesel (only back-up), flexible loads (1-2 kW irrigation pumps) and Intelligent Load Controllers.

7 Ikaria Hybrid Energy Project

Hydro Electric and Wind power

 Two hydro power plants (1 MW & 3 MW) with two reservoirs that exploit water that comes from a dam  One wind park (2,7 MW) which provides energy to the water pumps (3 MW)  Guaranteed power: 2,55 MW  5-year Average Peak Demand: 7,3 MW

 It is expected that the Hybrid plant will cover 30% of the energy needs of the island.

 The project is already in trial operation and it is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2019

8 Agios Efstratios “Green Island” project

 Small island in the North–East part of the , with only 270 inhabitants (2011) and its 5-year Average Peak Demand 0,32 MW.

 The project includes two subprojects o a Hybrid power station (HPS) o a District Heating system (teleheating)  The HPS consists of: o Wind turbines (900 kW), o PVs (150 kW) & Batteries (2,5 MWh),  Law 4495/2018 authorizes the Ministry of Energy,  The target of the project is to accomplish 85% RAE and HEDNO to take all necessary actions for energy of the island to come from RES. the implementation of this project.  The project is funded by the EU, it is run by the CRES and it is still under study.

9 “Smart Island” pilot projects (1)

 Law 4495/2017 & Law 4546/2018 authorize the Ministry of Energy, RAE and HEDNO to take all necessary actions for the implementation of “Smart Island” pilot projects in 3 Greek islands.  Each pilot project will consist of new RES units in combination with storage units controlled by a smart management system.

 The targets o RES penetration increase, o ensure the supply of demand, o secure operation of the power systems in a cost efficient way

 The “Smart Island” pilot projects will be implemented by investors who will have to participate in tenders held by the Regulatory Authority for Energy.  The desired starting year of the full operation of the first “Smart island” pilot project is 2021.

10 “Smart Island” pilot projects (2)

The selected islands are:

Symi Astypalea Megisti/Kastelorizo

Based on the following criteria: • Size • Installed RES • Operational Cost • RES penetration • Future Interconnection scenarios

11 TILOS project Technology Innovation for the Local Scale, Optimum Integration of Battery Energy Storage

 Horizon 2020 EU funded project (Feb. 2015 – Jan. 2019)  Tilos island (area of 62 km2, 500 inhabitants, 2 main villages) is: o Geographically located in the island complex o Electrically interconnected with - ES (a 9 islands ES) with submarine cables o 5-year Average Peak Demand: ~1MW  TILOS project comprises: o Development of a smart microgrid in Tilos island o Development and operation of a prototype Hybrid Power Station (1st in Mediterranean sea) based on: o NaNiCl2 batteries (2,4MWh) o Wind turbines (800 kW) and PVs (160 kWp) o Smart metering installation in almost all households o Demand-side management platform implementation o Development of an Island high-level energy management system (HL-EMS) to supervise and control all island energy resources  TILOS project (HPS) has already started its trial operation and is expected to be in full operation in a few months

12 TILOS project Technology Innovation for the Local Scale, Optimum Integration of Battery Energy Storage

 Main objectives of TILOS project: o Energy autonomy and reduction in oil consumption 70-75% per year o Maximization of RES penetration o Ancillary services to the ES of Kos-Kalymnos o Export Guaranteed energy o Implementation of advanced microgrid energy management techniques o Implementation of innovative demand management techniques o Troubleshoot of Tilos island electrification problems

 The TILOS project won two European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) Awards in Brussels in 2017. The first ever Energy Islands award and the Citizen’s Award.

 Tilos HPS guaranteed energy & power are 2,0 MWh and 0,4 MW, respectively

 Tilos HPS has started its trial operation in autumn of 2018.
