FROM FUEL BASED GENERATION TO SMART RENEWABLE GENERATION:PRELIMINARY DESIGN FOR AN ISLANDED SYSTEM.PART I: TECHNICAL ISSUES AND FUTURE SCENARIOS

The subject addressed in this paper is the analytical study of the transition of the energy generation system for a real MV/LV distribution system from a ‘fuel based’ one to a distributed and smart ‘renewables based’ one. The paper outlines the technical issues related to such transition from one type of system to the other. The study is carried out for a real islanded MV/LV distribution network located in the Island of Pantelleria. The economical issues regarding the above transition are focused in a companion paper.
