Integrated Re Network for Ikaria Island, First Real-Life Demonstration of Sustainable Energy System

Objective

- World-first demonstration of a stand-alone Sustainable Energy System serving a real-life island community, allowing to prove its technical & economic viability;
- Autoctonous RE sources available on the island, namely water-, solar- and wind-power shall cover 50% of total power demand (the project creates the basis for future solar- and wind-power expansions allowing to cover even 90% from RE);
- Creation of integrated hybrid (renewables+diesel) public power supply network on an island, allowing for compensation between seasonally counter-phased RE's namely hydro-power available during winter, solar- and wind-power in summer;
- High penetration rates in a power grid of stochastically behaving (not-dispatchable) renewables by exploiting the energy storage capacity of the system;
- Development and divulgation of reference standards; best practices and modularity requirements favouring replicability of technology in other areas in the world.
