A hybrid model for the optimum integration of renewable technologies in power generation systems
(2011-02)
The main purpose of this work is to assess the unavoidable increase in the cost of electricity of a generation system by the integration of the necessary renewable energy sources for power generation (RES-E) technologies ...
The cost of integration of parabolic trough CSP plants in isolated Mediterranean power systems
(2010-06)
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 ...
A Measure of Capacity Contribution of Static Mono-Si Photovoltaic Systems
(2013-05)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity in the daytime when system demand is generally moderate to high. For Mediterranean countries, there is also seasonal coincidence of high system demand and high PV load factors. ...
Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network
(2014-01)
In this work, a prediction of the effects of introducing energy storage systems on the network stability of the distribution network of Cyprus and a comparison in terms of cost with a traditional solution is carried out. ...
Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)
An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ...
Parametric assessment of concentrated photovoltaic parks for the Mediterranean region
(2013)
Solar electricity produced by concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar cells is an alternative renewable energy technology for sustainably providing the world's future energy requirements. Although the technology is relatively ...
Review of best practices of solar electricity resources applications in selected Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries
(2011-08)
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries present abundant solar potential, which to some extent has been exploited for electricity production. However, the largest part of this potential remains still unexploited. The ...
Parametric analysis for the installation of solar dish technologies in Mediterranean regions
(2010-12)
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 costs of power outages: A case study for Cyprus
(Elsevier, 2012-10)
We study the costs of electricity disruptions in Cyprus, which suffered severe power shortages in summer 2011 after an explosion that destroyed 60% of its power generating capacity. We employ both economic and engineering ...
Cost-benefit analysis for the installation of cogeneration CSP technology in Cyprus
(2013-12)
The purpose of this work is to investigate whether the installation of an innovative cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (DSW) with concentrated solar power (CSP) technology in Cyprus is economically feasible. ...
