Objetivo The objective of this project is to combine the energy output of two natural sources : wind and water. Using a wind turbine and three small hydraulic turbines energy will be transformed into electrical energy which can easily be transported. It will be used primarily for the electrification of the emery mines of the village Aperathou of Naxos (Greece) and the surplus for pumping drinkable water for this village.The project combines the exploitation of a wind turbine, installed at the Aperathou village of Naxos island (Greece), and of three small hydroelectric plants still to be constructed. The electrical energy produced will be used for basic electrification of the galeries of emery mines of the village Aperathou. The excess energy will be disposed for pumping drinkable water. Main reasons for choosing the site of Aperathou are the following: - Numerous small dams have been constructed recently to prevent soil erosion following rainfalls. - The unique emery mines of Naxos are not grid-connected. - Local authorities and citizens of Aperathou are sensitive in environment matters. The project is expected to provide valuable experience in combining small hydroelectric plants with wind turbine controlled by a central system and without the use of energy storage. Furthermore, safety of work in the emery mines will be enhanced and the Community of Aperathou will have to spend less funds for pumping of drinkable water. The project will serve as a pilot for further applications in other Greek islands or remote regions in Europe.
