In this thesis, the author dealt with his exclusively own creation, in realistic terms, of an offshore wind farm between the Greek islands of Karpathos and Kassos, in the Dodecanese complex.
The objective of this thesis was twofold and for that two phases were developed. Specifically, the first goal (first phase: January 2023 - December 2027) was to be presented a plan, via the construction of an offshore wind park, in order for the energy needs of two islands, which were not interconnected with the mainland grid at the period of the writing of this thesis, to be covered at an extremely high rate. The second target (second phase: January 2028 - December 2052), after the anticipated interconnection (by 2027) of Karpathos and Kassos islands with the mainland system and therefore with the Hellenic Electricity Transmission System, was the contribution of an offshore wind farm in the national energy mix and the author assessed its operation mainly from this perspective.
A thorough economic analysis for the sustainability of the project took place by the author, as well as the evaluation of many criteria for the suitability of the installation of the offshore wind farm in the particular location selected by the author. Furthermore, the energy storage via the use of batteries was also taken into consideration.
