An analysis of the Greek energy system in view of the Kyoto commitments

Optimal design of the renewable energy map of Greece using weighted goal-programming and data envelopment analysis

“…Other studies exploring the impact of renewable energy technologies applications focus on employment effects [27], public attitude and social acceptance [28] [29] [30] [31] and environmental impacts [32] [33] [34]. The economic viability of hydro electricity production plants is demonstrated from the aspect of market analysis [35] [36] and production planning [37], and for electricity energy production [38], using stochastic programming.…”

An integrated stochastic multi-regional long-term energy planning model incorporating autonomous power systems and demand response

“…Constraint (21) ensures that each candidate unit is to be constructed at most once during the whole planning horizon. Equation (22) defines the power capacity accounting of each unit in each time period.…”

“…Agoris et al [21] presented an analysis in order for the GPS to achieve the Kyoto targets using the R-MARKAL and WASP IV modeling tools. The results indicate a gradually decreasing utilization rate of lignite units, greater penetration rate of NG and significant investments in RES units.…”

Post-Kyoto energy consumption strategies for the Greek interconnected electric system

“…The participation of Greece, as an EU country, in the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol targets, revealed some clear facts: (a) the electric sector, which is accounted for a major part of the emissions, has lower marginal abatement cost in the medium term for implementing environmental targets than that of other sectors and (b) the required emission reduction cannot be achieved without parallel actions on the energy consumption side (Dagoumas et al, 2007;Agoris et al, 2004).…”

“…The latter option is examined in different studies (Dagoumas et al, 2007;Agoris et al, 2004;Capros et al, 2000;Kaldellis et al, 2005;Mirasgedis et al, 2002;Tigas et al, 2001;Vassos and Vlachou, 1997), which provide the total cost and the environmental consequences from policies in the electricity generation profile of the country.…”
