PROJECT ID

->Synergy with wind and PV power->Microgrid energy management->Maximization of RES penetration->Grid stability->Export of guaranteed energy->Ancillary services to the main grid->Synergy with DSM

The battery will support both stand-alone and grid-connected operation,while proving its interoperability with the rest of microgrid components,such as smart meters, demand side management devices and distributed,residential heat storage

The main objective of TILOS will be the development of a prototypebattery system based on NaNiCl2 batteries that will support theoperation of a smart microgrid on the basis of multiple tasks, including:

MAIN OBJECTIVE

PROJECT STRUCTURE

Following the development of the system, the demonstration phase willinclude three different test modes of operation;

A: Stand-alone microgrid ; B: Increased RES penetration for entire island;C: Almost stand-alone microgrid and smart interaction with the host grid

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

To ensure replication of the developed energy solution, a coherent islandplatform will be created and new case studies will be examined, includingCorsica (UCPP), La Graciosa (ITC) and Pellworm (SHNG) as well as otherisland regions of different characteristics

TILOS ISLAND

Tilos is a far distant, “S” shapedGreek island lying midway betweenKos and Rhodes.

Recently known for its kind peopleand their solidarity towardsimmigrants crossing the Aegean insearch of a better living.

The local population of Tilos, ~500 islanders, covers its electricityneeds through a poor interconnection to the host island of Kos, where adiesel-oil power station is operated.

Owed to undersea cable faults, Tilos suffers from quite frequent andin many cases long-lasting black-outs.

PROGRESS SO FAR

Fully equipped weather stationA fully-equipped weather station for the collection ofthe necessary meteorological data including wind speed,solar radiation, ambient temperature, etc. at 1mininterval, was installed on the island of Tilos by Eunice inthe end of February 2015. In the end of June 2015,Eunice installed a second wind mast, aiming to theevaluation of an alternative location in order to ensurethe optimum siting of the wind turbine.

Load measuring devicesIn the beginning of April 2015, two load measuring devices wereinstalled at two different points of the Tilos island electricitygrid by HEDNO. The first one captures the south part of theisland, where the smart micro-grid will be operated, and thesecond one covers the entire island load demand (10min interval).Load demand recorded ever since follows an increasing trend.

PROGRESS SO FAR

Preliminary simulations and grid studyIn parallel to the installation of the load measuring devices, a site visit took placeon the island of Tilos in order to draw the necessary information for theconduction of the grid study and preliminary simulations. Both detailed mapping ofthe local grid and a first assessment of important loads’ characteristics werecarried out by Younicos, HEDNO, Eunice and TEIP.

PROGRESS SO FAR

Battery system specificationsIn the meantime, battery systemspecifications have also beenprovided by FIAMM, contributingto the determination of the finalsystem configuration and layout.The two battery storagecontainers to be employed featurestorage capacity of ~3MWh andwill be coupled with 2x500kWinverters. The proposed systemconfiguration satisfies therequirements of the existingregulation framework concerningthe design and operation of hybridpower plants in the Greek Aegeanislands.

PROGRESS SO FAR

Hybrid power station permitsSimultaneously, the necessaryapplication for the issuance of thehybrid power station productionlicense has been prepared by Euniceand TEIP and submitted by Eunice tothe Greek Regulatory Authority forEnergy in June 2015. Issuance of theproduction license is expected by theend of the year. In the same context,Eunice and WWF are in closecooperation for the conduction of thenecessary environmental andornithological studies, aiming toachieve the goal of having REScomponents up and running by the endof 2016

PROGRESS SO FAR

1st series of training seminarsWWF conducted the 1st series oftraining seminars on Tilos in the endof April 2015. The seminar focusedon the basics of smart metering,aiming to train the local population inview of the installation of smartmeters in the domestic sector ofTilos. WWF also had the opportunityto lay the foundations of arelationship with the people of Tilos,built on mutual trust which will enablethe establishment of a stable andcontinuous communication channelbetween the local people and theproject team.
