The EPLANopt model for Favignana island's energy transition

Daniele Groppi et al.

Summary: The challenges of energy costs, carbon emissions, supply security, and system stability are common on small islands worldwide. The European Union has identified islands as ideal locations for implementing innovative solutions to transition towards sustainable, independent, secure, and low-carbon energy systems. Energy planning and modeling play crucial roles in optimizing future energy systems with renewable sources and flexibility strategies. However, there is limited research on multi-objective optimization in island case studies, with the potential to significantly impact carbon avoidance and economic savings through sector coupling solutions.
