Abstract: This paper presents a power production system for the isolated insular power system of the islands Karpathos and Kasos. Karpathos and Kasos are two small islands, located in the South-East Aegean Sea (Dodecanese complex) that are not connected to the main power distribution network. Energy production is based exclusively on an autonomous thermal power plant and a small wind park, installed on the island of Karpathos. The maximum annual power demand has been estimated to exceed 12MW by 2014. The mean specific annual energy production cost from the existing system has been calculated at 0.249€/kWh in 2008.
