Abstract

This paper illustrates an analysis of the power generation expansion plan of the Hellenic Interconnected Mainland System as an aspect of the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) of the country for the year 2020. The modeling background and a description of the incorporated technologies are thoroughly provided. In addition, major conclusions of the scenarios investigated are analyzed, and potential issues that system operators will confront are underlined.
