Energy & Smart Grids: Acceleration of the clean energy transition through multiple applications, such as demand side management, integration of storage in the distribution network, research on a local microgrid and extensive sector coupling.
Kythnos
The pilot Microgrid electrifies and isolated settlement of 12 houses in a small valley of Kythnos, an island in the Aegean Sea, Greece. The generation system comprises of 10 kW of solar panels, a battery bank of nominal capacity of 53kWh and a 5kW diesel genset.
The Kythnos Microgrid: A 20-Year History
The noninterconnected island of Kythnos (100 km 2 with 1,600 inhabitants) belongs to the complex of the Western Cyclades islands in Greece and is located in the Aegean Sea, 104 km from Athens. The island has a rich history in the adoption of sustainable energy applications, starting from the installation of the first wind farm in Europe [5 ×
