容量扩展规划是一个关键的过程，考虑到多个方面和各种参数的审查电力部门，以最佳地满足未来的电力需求。就希腊而言，电力供应部门的长期能源规划面临着许多挑战，这些挑战来自该国的特殊性和地貌，主要是指大量岛屿。本文探讨了希腊岛屿互联到大陆电网的可行性和后果，建立两个替代方案的最低成本电力规划期间2009-2020年。也就是说，参考方案假设孤立的电力系统的岛屿，并与其互连到大陆的替代方案进行比较。本研究的主要目的是说明岛屿互联对发展可再生能源发电的重要性，同时指出由此产生的经济和环境效益。
The capacity expansion planning is a crucial process taking into account multiple aspects and various parameters of the examined power sector in order to optimally satisfy the future electricity demand. In the case of Greece, the long-term energy planning of the electricity supply sector faces a lot of challenges deriving from the peculiarities and geomorphology of the country mainly referring to the large number of islands. This paper explores the feasibility and the consequences of interconnecting Greek islands to the mainland grid by establishing two alternative scenarios of least cost electricity planning for the period 2009–2020. Namely, the reference scenario assumes isolated electric systems of islands and is compared against the alternative option of their interconnection to the mainland. The main purpose of the present study is to illustrate the great importance of islands’ interconnection on the development of renewable energy sources (RES) to generate electricity while pointing out the consequent economic and environmental benefits.
