Assessing the Utilization of Fuels Cells for the Valorization of Produced Excess Energy in Isolated Grids – The Green Transition of Agios Efstratios
(Corresponding) Dimou A., Vakalis S.
Topic:
Energy technologies and sustainability
The island of Agios Efstratios is a unique case, since a pilot green energy transition program is taking place. Wind and solar photovoltaic technologies have seen tremendous growth during the past decade and various policy measures have been introduced in support of their growth. For the cases of...Read more
Desalinated Water and Power for a Seaside Hotel: A Case Study using Off-grid Solar and Wind
Tounsi A., Ghamgui M., (Corresponding) Tadeo F.
Topic:
Environmental management and policies
A hybrid combination of solar and wind energies for a remote seaside hotel is analyzed. More specifically, a hotel in Hammamet, Tunisia, powered by photovoltaic panels and a wind turbine is evaluated, with water generated by desalination using reverse osmosis. This isolated accommodation...Read more
Application of the PALM4U Model Coupled to WRF/Chem Model to Evaluate Wind Comfort and Air Pollution Impacts for Urban Scenarios
(Corresponding) SAN NJOSE R., PEREZ CAMANYO J.
Topic:
Air pollution
Air pollution and wind comfort are both important indicators of quality of life in urban environments. This study examines the influence of a tree area (Green Park) on the wind patterns and air pollution concentrations over a downtown urban area (1 km x 1 km) in Madrid (Spain) with the CFD PALM4U...Read more
Social Acceptability of Offshore Wind Projects in Greece: Citizen Perspectives on Challenging Issues of Site-Selection Problem
(Corresponding) Spyridonidou S., Vagiona D.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Lack of social acceptance remains a major constraint towards offshore wind project (OWP) deployment. The incorporation of local population perspectives and concerns into the site-selection process of OWPs can assist to overcome the respective barriers. In this work, an appropriately designed...Read more

Time Evolution of Renewable Energy Applications Social Acceptability. The Wind Energy Case in Decarbonization Areas
Boulogiorgou D., (Corresponding) Kaldellis J.
Topic:
Renewable energy sources
Energy transition policy towards zero carbon electricity generation by 2030/2050 in European as well in national level is based on increased exploitation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) giving great importance to public opinion and public participation. Considering the above, it is important to...Read more

Assessing wind farms projects with the use of multicriteria methods and stakeholders analysis
Mpakali E., (Corresponding) Vagiona D.
Topic:
Spatial environmental planning
The use of wind potential and the protection of biodiversity are two conflicting aspects that arise in the development of wind energy projects, generating conflicts between different stakeholders. The aim of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the suitability of existing wind farms...Read more
