3.1. General Framework Method for Devising the Future Development Energy Scenarios for the PRISMI Plus Case Study Considered
- (1)
- Mapping the energy needs of the local municipality
- (2)
- Mapping the locally available renewable energy resources
- (3)
- Technologies overview for bridging the gap between energy needs and energy resources
- (4)
- Division of scenarios
Scenario 1 | During this scenario, the electricity consumption of the whole island, as provided by Procida Municipality itself, is considered. This scenario is used as a baseline scenario since no other installation/investment are analysed. |
Scenario 2 | During this scenario, the partial electrification (i.e., 50% of the total consumption) of the heating sector and the transport sector is analysed by means of the installation of HPs and EVs, respectively. In addition, the investment on PV and BES is analysed in order to reach a 50% RES share. |
Scenario 3 | During this scenario, the full electrification (i.e., 100% of the total consumption) of the heating sector and the transport sector is analysed by means of the installation of HPs and EVs, respectively. In addition, the investment on PV and BES is analysed in order to reach a 100% RES share. |
