| Abstract | The autonomous power system of Crete has been selected as a representative model for long term energy planning estimation in case of signifi cant high share in power and energy balance from renewable energy sources. A generation capacity expansion model selects from conventional electricity generation technologies such as thermal power units, combined cycle units, combustion turbines, and renewable energy technologies such as wind parks, photovoltaics and hybrid systems in order to supply the projected demand of the future years. At the same time, power system operation and control, special restrictions, performance projections, as well as generation expansion costs, should be comprehensively investigated. More precisely, this study analyses current system operation and demonstrates benefi ts and obstacles of a substantial share of Crete’s projected load demand from renewable energy sources and hybrid systems by the end of 2020. The potential of high share is technically feasible, not cost-prohibitive, and provides advantages in the forms of carbon emission reductions, energy adequacy and dependency. |
