Abstract
The author describes how, this year, the Aegean island of Agios Efstratios will begin installing a field demonstration of a combined wind-turbine/diesel generating system. The author outlines this generating system and shows how the problem of energy storage requirements (to cover short-term fluctuations in wind speed) has been overcome by the adoption of a flywheel system
