This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Systems at the
International Hellenic University. Here is a summary of the dissertation.
The purpose of this study was to identify the electricity exported to the central grid
from RES with a focus on PV systems and wind turbines, taking into account
parameters such as the different policies and the meteorological conditions that exist
throughout the country as well as grid connection issues in Cyprus
The installation of wind farms and photovoltaic systems constitutes a solution for the
continuously increasing energy demand of this highly developing region. The
combination of the interconnections that take place between the island and other
countries, and the growth of Wind Farms and PV systems enable the progressive
decommissioning of the crude oil power stations, resulting in numerous environmental
and financial profits as well as putting an end to the significant energy dependence of
Cyprus on third countries.
The solar and wind potential of Cyprus seems capable of supporting the
transformation of the island’s energy system from an almost totally dependent on
imported fossil fuels to a modern one in which indigenous sources of energy will have
an important role in reducing import fuel and increasing energy of supply.
