Press release (Greek)
Τα περισσότερα Ευρωπαϊκά νησιά αντιμετωπίζουν κοινές ενεργειακές προκλήσεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένων α) της υψηλής εξάρτησης από ορυκτά καύσιμα β) της ηλεκτρικής (κυρίως) διασύνδεσής τους με ηπειρωτικά συστήματα, γ) της εποχικότητας του φορτίου κατανάλωσης τους, λόγω των μεγάλων αλλά σύντομων τουριστικών εισροών (αύξηση πάνω από 30% στα μικρά νησιά την τελευταία δεκαετία), και δ) της συνεχούς αυξανόμενης διείσδυσης δύσκολα προβλέψιμων ως προς την παραγωγή τους, Ανανεώσιμων Πηγών Ενέργειας (ΑΠΕ), που αντικαθιστούν συμβατικούς τρόπους παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Ταυτόχρονα τα παραπάνω επιφέρουν και σημαντική μείωση στην αδράνεια/στρεφόμενη εφεδρεία του συστήματος (κυρίως σε μικρά μη διασυνδεδεμένα νησιά). Όλα τα παραπάνω, μαζί με την αναγκαία εξασφάλιση της αδιάκοπης, απρόσκοπτης και ευσταθούς λειτουργίας του ενεργειακού (κυρίως ηλεκτρικού) δικτύου, έχουν ως αποτέλεσμα στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις, υψηλό οικονομικό και περιβαλλοντικό κόστος παραγωγής ή και μεταφοράς ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας στα ίδια τα συστήματά τους, σε σύγκριση με τα ηπειρωτικά.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) market platform development
– March 15, 2022 We implemented the self-consumption maximisation through P2P energy trading scenario through a platform, based on the Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT). The application of a P2P market platform enables prosumers in a local network to directly trade energy with each other, by avoiding renewables (RES) curtailment and future grid transport costs. The […]
Virtual Power Plant (iVPP) design
– March 15, 2022 After careful analysis of the different Use Cases’ needs, the IANOS project consortium proposed two different designs of the iVPP platform, one per each pilot island. The relevant deployments are illustrated below: A summary of the iVPP main SW modules’ functionalities and their current development status is presented below: Enterprise Service […]
IANOS Energy Planning and decision-making Toolkit
– March 15, 2022 The IANOS Energy Planning and decision-making Toolkit (IEPT) will be developed to assist the decarbonisation and smartification of the pilot islands. IEPT will constitute as a holistic tool able to evaluate the overall benefits expected from clean energy/smart grid interventions, from various perspectives, based on the viewpoint from each stakeholder (Municipality, […]
IANOS presents EDA
– Discovering eda Project partner interview to Paulo Bermonte and Felipe Mendonça What is your organization’s role? EDA, as the responsible entity for the electric system in Terceira (Azores), a lighthouse islands of the project, is, mandatorily, a key partner in the demonstration activities of IANOS. EDA’s focus on the project refers to the development […]
IANOS partners’ presentation: CERTH
– January 20, 2022 discovering certh Interview to the IANOS partner, Nikolaos Nikolopoulos, from CERTH Dr Nikolopoulos, what is your organisation’s role? CERTH’s main role in the project it to function as technical coordinator. This means that we keep an eye on the various innovative technologies that are being deployed throughout the project’s lifetime, […]
IANOS partners’ presentation: EREF
EREF’ role in IANOS is threefold – first, we contribute to the stakeholder and citizens engagement work stream and will develop in this context a community engagement toolbox, and will produce, at a later stage of IANOS, national policy papers and workshops.
IANOS partners’ presentation: EDP NEW
EDP NEW is the IANOS project coordiantor responsible for the overall project management, including the interactions with the European Commission.
Webinar series on clean energy transition on islands

Project partner RINA organises a series of webinars to present the current results of H2020 projects targeting clean energy transition on islands of which IANOS will be one of the examples
Project kicked off in October 2020
Unlocking the great potential of EU islands to act as pilot islands of pan-European decarbonisation.
