The case of Cyprus Mapping of the Cyprus energy storage potential. Implications in the penetration of renewables and the operational mode of the conventional units Dr. George Tzamalis Hystore Tech limited Online Workshop “Storage and Renewables Electrifying Cyprus”, SREC, 19thof November 2021, Nicosia, Cyprus From previous study –presentation:
Currently, Cyprus is in a transitional step before full electricity market liberalisation, which is being driven by the binding timetable of the Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority (CERA) to ensure the full opening up of the energy market and granting consumers the right to choose their own supplier.
Over the last several years, solar energy projects have become a thriving segment for Cyprus. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) alone has financed five solar parks across the island with an investment of €10.85 million to increase photovoltaic capacity in Cyprus by 12%.
Novel Storage Concepts to increase RES penetration in autonomous systems. The case of Cyprus Mapping of the Cyprus energy storage potential. Implications in the penetration of renewables and the operational mode of the conventional units Dr. George Tzamalis Hystore Tech limited
The first energy storage system, 30 kW/50 kWh, was connected to the electricity system in Nicosia in 2018. Cyprus became the testing ground for an innovative community project delivered by a German electric utility company Autarsys, where 30 kW/50 kWh was connected to a conventional distribution substation in Nicosia.
A key hurdle for Cyprus to overcome is its high dependency on fossil fuels for energy – with one of the biggest shares within the EU. This makes it crucial for the country to develop both its renewable energy sources and natural gas, the cleanest of the fossil fuels, as a transitional fuel.
