“…Finally, various studies [41][42][43][44][45] have evaluated the role of seawater pumping as power supply to desalination plants; this particular practice is called seawater pumped hydro storage (SPHS). SPHS methods are considered already mature and widely applied technologies [46].…”

Five different water resource management scenarios are examined on eight dry islands of the Aegean Sea in Greece, pitting the current practice of water hauling via ship against alternative water supply schemes in delivering a sustainable solution for meeting water demand. The first scenario employs current water supply practices along with the operation of domestic rainwater harvesting systems. Desalinated water, provided through the operation of wind-powered desalination plants, is considered the main source of potable water in the rest of scenarios. Wind-powered desalination may be combined with rainwater harvesting as a supplementary source of water and/or seawater pumping and an additional source of energy that is supplied to the system. All different alternatives are evaluated for a 30-year lifespan, and an optimal solution is proposed for each island, based on a life cycle cost (LCC) analysis. The performance of this solution is then assessed under six climate change (CC) scenarios in terms of the rate of on-grid versus off-grid renewable energy that is required in order to achieve a certain reliability level. Overall, the examined scenarios show a decreasing performance in terms of reliability under CC for the eight islands.

“…SPHS methods are considered already mature and widely applied technologies [46]. It must be stated that the operation of a system with a single reservoir is proposed for minimizing the costs [45]. Therefore, SPHS can be proved to be an attractive option for the remote islands of Greece.…”

“…The average mobility in São Miguel corresponds to 9478 km/year (or 26.0 km/day) and 15,446 km/year (or 42.3 km/day) for gasoline and diesel cars respectively. These figures indicate that the use of EDVs is especially attractive in the case of São Miguel [24] and, thus, are taken into consideration in the scenarios examined in this work. In this context, the use of an SPS system is particularly suitable for São Miguel, minimizing the costs involved in the project due to the construction of a single reservoir.…”

“…In this context, a stochastic model is proposed in [19] for optimally sizing a pumped-storage power plant in São Miguel. On the one hand, the benefits of increasing the integration of renewable energy resources in the power system of São Miguel are presented in [20], while on the other hand, the integration of electric drive vehicles (EDVs) in this insular power system is discussed in relevant energy modelling studies [21][22][23][24]. Specifically, the work in [21] discusses the potential revenues for EV owners in São Miguel from providing vehicle to grid (V2G) power, while the study in [22] examines the possibility of using the batteries of EDVs as an energy storage system for the island and the impact on the energy generation from renewable sources.…”

The authors in [23] analyze EDV deployment scenarios for reducing the CO 2 emissions and energy costs in isolated regions using São Miguel as a case study, while the authors in [24] consider additional scenarios with respect to the deployment of EDVs and the increase of electricity demand in the local energy system of São Miguel. Building upon these contributions, the present work employs The Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System (TIMES) to examine scenarios that combine the introduction of a SPS system in São Miguel with the deployment of EDVs.…”

This paper considers the case of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago as a typical example of an isolated island with high renewable energy potential, but low baseload levels, lack of energy storage facilities, and dependence on fossil fuels that incurs high import costs. Using the Integrated MARKAL-EFOM System (TIMES), a number of scenarios are examined in order to analyze and assess the potential benefits from the implementation of a seawater pumped-storage (SPS) system, in the absence or presence of electric drive vehicles (EDVs) under a grid-to-vehicle (G2V) approach. The results obtained show that the proposed solution increases the penetration of renewable energy in the system, thus reducing the dependence on fossil fuel imports and allowing, at the same time, for the deployment of EDVs as a promising environmentally friendly alternative to conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines.

The development of new technologies such as renewable energy sources, energy storage devices, and electric vehicles has changed the structure of the distribution grid to an active grid with bidirectional power flow. This paper introduces the concept of a smart island and its challenges and an isolated smart microgrid mode. Furthermore, this review provides an overview of the challenges that the penetration of electric vehicles has on islands through various types of charging modes. Finally, it is analyzed the impact of vehicle-to-grid on islands and the decarbonization of transportation sectors.
