Greek outdoor power supplier
The main players involved in power generation include the state-controlled Public Power Corporation S.A. (PPC), which is the main electricity producer in the country, operating a large
It is obvious that the Greek power system has entered the “large RES penetration” era. This fact has brought new technical problems and challenges as far as system security is concerned but also it drastically affects the electricity market since the share of conventional thermal plants has been signi cantly reduced.
Development of a smart electricity grid. Despite the advancement, the delignitization in the Greek power sector still has a considerable distance to cover. Carbon taxation has not yet been adopted in Greece as a means of curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Progress in infrastructure for vehicle electrification remains modest.
As shown in Fig. 3, PVs have considerably reduced the (transmission) system load; this fact contributed drastically to solve the severe voltage stability problems that the Greek system faced for almost two decades, especially during peak hours (noon) in summer.
The utilization of intermittent RES (wind and solar) was accelerated during last 20-25 years so that Greece has already achieved large RES penetration. Nevertheless, new and more ambitious targets have been set towards further decarbonization, bringing new challenges for the Greek power system.
