Summary
The Regional Energy Agency of Crete, in collaboration with the National Technical University of Athens and the Centre of Renewable Energy Sources, has carried this study referring to the perspectives of RES in Crete. An Implementation Plan for exploitation of RES for the period 1998-2010 is defined. The plan is mainly focused on the exploitation of RES for electricity production. A general description of Crete's electrical system and a forecast of the island's electricity demand are presented. The rationale used in the formulation of the Implementation Plan and the proposed actions are detailed. All the technical and operational constraints are taken into account. The impacts of RES integration into the electrical system are considered. Furthermore, the necessary investment costs for the implementation of the plan and the related socio-economic and environmental benefits have been evaluated. Finally, the Implementation Plan as a whole is a quite attractive investment that improves the operation of the electrical system of Crete and provides it with an adequate safety margin covering the maximum average net hourly production.
Results
The proposed sites for all the electricity production units selected according to the methodology are presented in the Figure below.
