In this work, an assessment of the integration of renewable energy sources for power generation (RES-E) using RES-E capacity auctions is carried out for different solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity electricity prices. The optimization model used is based on a genetic algorithm (GA) technique for the calculation of the required RES-E levy (or green tax) in the electricity bills. Also, this GA procedure...
In this work, a parametric optimization analysis of various innovative modular air-cooled condenser systems is carried out in order to identify the optimum system configuration and size to be used as the cooling system in a 50MWe parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) plant. The optimization analysis is conducted individually on a total of 17 different configurations and on a total of 8 different...
In this work a feasibility study is carried out in order to investigate whether the installation of solar dish technologies for power generation in Mediterranean regions is economically feasible. The study takes into account the available solar potential for a typical Mediterranean country, such as Cyprus, as well as all available data concerning the current renewable energy sources policy of the...
In this work, a technical and economic analysis concerning the integration of parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, with or without thermal storage capability, in an existing typical small isolated Mediterranean power generation system, in the absence of a feed-in tariff scheme, is carried out. In addition to the business as usual (BAU) scenario, five more scenarios are examined...
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is one of the aggregation models suggested for Distributed Generation (DG) and controllable or flexible loads. This paper aims to show the increased benefits that the end-users of DG units can enjoy if they formulate a VPP with increased flexibility of “controllable” loads. In this study, data from a pilot VPP formulated by three experimental sites with DGs are used. The...
