许多大小不一的岛屿分布在地中海东南部。这些小岛屿大多面临严重的基础设施问题，如电力供应不足，电力质量低，生产成本很高。为了改善所有这些孤立社区的生活质量，本文描述了一种基于一个或多个光伏发电机和适当的储能系统的综合电气化解决方案的财务可行性调查。一个类似的解决方案的主要目标是最大限度地提高光伏发电机的贡献，并尽量减少生命周期发电成本的偏远岛屿网络调查。此外，还特别强调选择最具成本效益的储能配置。根据高和中高太阳能潜力区域获得的结果，发现所提出的配置比现有的热电站更具成本效益。还应考虑到若干附带好处，如改善电网可靠性和尽量减少替代进口石油对环境和宏观经济的影响。
A large number of various sized islands are spread throughout the south-east Mediterranean Sea. Most of these small islands face serious infrastructure problems, like the insufficient power supply and the low quality of electricity available at very high production cost. In an attempt to improve the life quality of all these isolated communities, an investigation concerning the financial viability of an integrated electrification solution based on one or more photovoltaic generators and an appropriate energy storage system is described. The main target of a similar solution is to maximize the contribution of the photovoltaic generator and minimize the life-cycle electricity generation cost of the remote island networks investigated. In addition, special emphasis is given in order to select the most cost-efficient energy storage configuration available. According to the results obtained for high and medium–high solar potential regions, the proposed configuration is found to be more cost-effective than the existing thermal power stations. Several side benefits like the improved electrical network reliability and the minimization of the environmental and macroeconomic impacts resulting from the replacement of the imported oil should also be considered.
