Objective
The project aims to initiate a large scale of photovoltaic systems in the Greek islands. To demonstrate the profitability of the PV systems in the Mediterranean islands, the environmental benefits, and to verify that there are no major technical problems for the introduction of the PV systems to the local grids.
A 60 kWp grid connected PV system will be installed in the Greek island of Sifnos. The system will consist of small modular units. The technology adopted in this project will have the rights size for replications in other Greek islands by the utility or individuals. The island of Sifnos was selected as a typical Greek island, with following electrical characteristics :
- electricity supplied by diesel generators
- local grid weak and low quality
- increasing electricity demand and
- a peaking load during summer tourist season.
Involvment of the Greek Electricity Utility (PPC), which is key to the promotion of photovoltaics in greek islands, is considered as an innovative and important part of the project.
Regarding the system components, both the PV modules and inverters are used for the first time. The PV modules are expected to be more reliable than the ones used in by PPC before. The new type reliable than the ones used in by PPC before. The new type of inverter, adjusted for operation in weak island grids, will allow for efficient operation of small PV systems and reduction of power conditioning.
