Planning Tool for Non-Interconnected Islands

Abstract

Planning of energy generation systems, especially of small autonomous Electrical Systems (ES), like a Non Interconnected Island Power System (NIIPS), within a medium to long-term horizon, is a decision making problem of high complexity. A series of studies is required, examining various scenarios, in order to decide the most appropriate development plan for each distinct NIIPS. This paper presents a web based application, developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (National Technical University of Athens, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering) in collaboration with the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO), serving as a tool for performing simulations that support this complex decision making process
