  • Abstract
    This paper presents a picture of the current state of the electrical system of Crete. During the last 15 years a significant number of Wind Farms and Photovoltaic Parks were installed in the island. The instantaneous and annual penetration of RES soared to heights that rival the levels of Spain and Germany. New experiences gained from managing these energy sources in isolated systems.
