“…Malta's target is considerable, although it is lower than other European Countries, because Malta presents quite particular conditions, such as other Mediterranean islands: high population density, limited available land and an ever increasing electricity demand. In order to achieve the environmental and energetic targets [8], Malta will have to use all available renewable sources [9]. Moreover, Malta's electrical grid needs several developments in order to minimize the electrical problems caused by varying power outputs of RES, such as wind, solar and sea wave [10].…”

Abstract:The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the energy production in the Maltese islands, focusing on the employment of renewable energies in order to increase their energy independence. The main renewable source here proposed is wave energy: thanks to a strategic position, Malta will be able to produce electrical energy using an innovative type of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) based on the prototype of a linear generator realized by University of Palermo. The use of this new technology will be able to cut down the electrical energy production from traditional power plants and, consequently, the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Wave energy source and off-shore photovoltaic (PV) technology are here proposed. Particularly, the installation of 12 wave farms, for a total installed capacity of 86 MW, will generate about 9.5% of Malta's energy requirement in 2025, while the installation of 9.6 MW of off-shore PV will generate about 0.73%.

“…PV technology now has very high standards, thanks to its characteristic of modularity, great reliability and low maintenance. In this work the installation of PV panels on building roofs is assumed, in order to avoid the use of the small island's land [42]. Furthermore, in order to preserve buildings of relevance from a historical point of view, we excluded the installation on buildings like "Dammusi" and "Giardini Panteschi", …”

Abstract:The aim of this work is to explore the possibility of transitioning a fuel powered island to a renewable powered one. This transition is analyzed for the real MV/LV distribution system of the island of Pantelleria, in the Mediterranean Sea. Particularly, this work is focused on a renewable source nowadays totally unused: wave energy. Thanks to the innovative generator prototype designed by Department of Energy of University of Palermo (Italy), wave energy is able to represent a primary source for the production of electric energy in the Mediterranean islands. The procedures applied in the present article, as well as the main equations used, are the result of previous applications made in different technical fields that show a good replicability.

“…The increasing concerns for the global environmental effects of greenhouse emissions, resulting from energy consumption, make relevant the current role of renewable sources in a regional policy context [4,5]; local authorities are called to play a remarkable role with strategies improving the energy efficiency and sustainability in all energetic uses [6,7] and replacing, as possible, fossil-based technology with proper renewable energy technologies [8,9].…”

Abstract:The use of renewable energy sources is one of the most relevant goals to be achieved in order to match the climate protection targets. As a case study, the paper shows the current electrical energy production by sources in the Sicilian context. Among the renewable energy sources, the paper investigates the wave energy potential along the Sicilian coasts, because of the favorable climate around the island. A point absorber is present in order to exploit this source. Two scenarios are presented, with two different levels of energy production.
