Study of Impact on Crete System Operation of the Atherinolakos Power Plant

Abstract

This work presents a study on steady state simulation (power flow) of Crete system's operation. Two different scenarios were investigated in order to extract conclusions on the impacts of the contribution of Atherinolakos power plant to the Crete power system operation. The first scenario presents the Crete system in a typical loads operation before the Atherinolakos installation. The second one presents the operation of the system with the same loads, including the Atherinolakos plant on operation. The system data used in simulation are very close to the real ones. Most of them are according to the PPC (Power Public Corporation). The results obtained from the simulation tests show that in the second scenario the voltages are much closer to their nominal value. The power losses on transmission lines are less
