Logistic modelling of an autonomous diesel-wind power system of a Greek Island

The present paper examines the integration of wind turbines into an existing diesel powered grid of a Greek island. A logistic model has heen developed by National Technical University of Athens and Public Power Corporation in order to analyze the parallel operation of diesel generators and wind turbine generators in terms of power quality and fuel savings. The model utilizes real time data recordings for both island demand load and wind speed at the wincl park sites and permits the precise simulation of the start-stop procedures of the diesel generator sets. The load management problem has been investigated and forecasting as well a s decision making techniques have been introduced. The simulation of the Limnos island power system operation during December 1088 was the case study for the application of the model.
