DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, the islanded electric power system of Cyprus 
 has faced significant challenges. The increased penetration of Renewable E
 nergy Sources (RES) in combination with the reduced reliance on convention
 al generators and the changes in the consumption profiles\, has led to a p
 lethora of problems widely related to low-inertia grids. These challenges 
 vary during the different seasons of the year\, due to different demand an
 d generation conditions. Several security problems related to frequency\, 
 voltage\, congestion\, and fault levels have already been observed in the 
 system. The scheduled future increase of RES penetration will lead to the 
 deterioration of the system security - if adequate measures are not taken.
 \n\nAt the moment\, the major challenges of the CPS are related to frequen
 cy stability due to the islanded nature of the system and the gradual deco
 mmissioning of conventional generators. In order to ensure frequency stabi
 lity\, a minimum number of synchronised generators is requested by the tra
 nsmission system operator of Cyprus (TSOC). However\, this significantly l
 imits RES penetration during low-loading conditions. There is an urgent ne
 ed to incorporate faster frequency support reserves that can help stabiliz
 e the system and improve its resilience and reliability.\n\nIn this presen
 tation\, an overview the existing and future problems observed in the CPS 
 will be provided. Then\, we will then focus on the impact of various frequ
 ency support mechanisms on the system security and propose a novel\, data-
 driven method for sizing the Fast Frequency Reserves (FFR) necessary to im
 prove the post-fault Nadir.\n\nCo-sponsored by: University of California\,
