Simulation model for autonomous energy planning for Milos island
Abstract
A new project to generate electricity on a selected remote Greek island with a population of around 5,000 inhabitants has been developed, using only renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems. This new energy plan was made taking into account the framework of the clean energy transition for islands, for the island of Milos in the Aegean Sea and compared with the current energy coverage. The electricity demand coverage needs on this island are met by using conventional fuels with the operation of diesel engines. Appropriate software was selected and used for the optimisation and creation of energy systems. For the energy study of the island, integrated simulation models were created both for the current total energy supply and for different scenarios of the newly developed energy planning.
