Techno-Economic and Environmental Evaluation of Large Scale PV Integration in Greece

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper evaluates the current status of renewable energy sources integration and future trends, especially of the photovoltaics, in the interconnected power system of Greece and the power system of Crete Island, which is the largest isolated power system in Greece. Focusing on the ongoing developments and prospects, the paper investigates the impacts of the expected sufficient photovoltaic installations on the energy market and the greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the reduction in CO2 emissions costs due to the installation of photovoltaics and other renewable energy technologies.
