Multi-criteria Analysis for Energy Independence from Renewable Energy Sources Case Study Zakynthos Island, Greece
Ioannis Vardopoulos
Abstract—The current research deals with renewable energy
sources for the energy independence of Zakynthos Island in
Greece. In order to define the most efficient renewable energy
source, a multi-criteria analysis was used. The main criteria
that were applied are the three pillars of sustainability, namely
environment, society and economy. The aforementioned
criteria were also subject to the DPSIR model of indicators,
while a range of economic, environmental, social and technical
sub-criteria were applied. The results, with regard to the
delimitations set for the scope of the current research, indicate
that the solar energy source systems (photovoltaics) are proved
to be a more suitable alternative over a geothermal power
station.
Index Terms—Renewable energy sources, photovoltaics, geothermal, multi-criteria analysis, sustainability indicators.
