Abstract: As in most islands of the Greek Territory, in Skyros, the electricity needs of the residents are mainly covered by autonomous energy stations. Electricity is produced by consuming fossil fuels. Moreover, the water in the network is not potable, so it is necessary to use bottled water. The solution is given through desalination. This paper examines the potential construction of a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES) for drinking water and electrical needs without emitting any pollutants into the atmosphere. Wind turbines electrify the system while pumped storage hydropower and hydrogen are used to store excess energy. These two methods are a solution to the issue of storage and controlled distribution of the clean wind energy produced by the wind turbines.
