The literature reported that the LCE of Kythnos island microgrid is about 30 cents/kWh. Therefore, the proposed sizing result is more economical than the diesel-electrified system and the practical one. As mentioned above,
"Kythnos is a small island in the Aegean sea in Greece. As is typical of islands in general, Kythnos is cut off from the national grid on mainland Greece. island. Thus, in the

The Kythnos microgrid was installed in 2001 in the Gaidouromantra valley (Figure 8), forming probably the first MG in Europe supplied by 100% renewable generation most of the year . The system was built in the framework of European projects, for the electrification of 12 vacation houses in a remote settlement. .
The Kythnos Island Project was funded by the European FP 5 Microgrids program, the objective of which was to test centralized and decentralized control strategies for islanding. It is a small village scale autonomous microgrid, composed of a 3-phase low-voltage network, solar PV generation, battery storage, and a backup generator.
C. GAIDOUROMANTRA MICROGRID Gaidouromantra is the first microgrid in Europe, installed in 2001 to electrify 14 vacation houses in Kythnos island, Greece . The microgrid is permanently islanded and it is supplied by distributed energy resources, such as photovoltaic panels, a wind turbine and a battery energy storage system.
It is a small village scale autonomous microgrid, composed of a 3-phase low-voltage network, solar PV generation, battery storage, and a backup generator. The grid is composed of overhead power lines and a communication cable running in parallel to serve monitoring and control requirements.
Kythnos Island is located in the Aegean Sea, close to Athens. The Kythnos Island Project was funded by the European FP 5 Microgrids program, the objective of which was to test centralized and decentralized control strategies for islanding.
