Sustainable development, in the recent years, is one of the top priorities for a large part of Greece's private and public sector. In this context, the Hellenic Armed Forces have been active, pioneering at European level, having developed and implemented an Energy Management System (EnMS) in a number of camps, according to the international standard EN ISO 50001, which concerns a systematic approach to achieving continuous improvement in energy efficiency and the EnMS, itself. In addition, the Armed Forces move towards the exploitation of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) within the general environmental awareness policy. The primary objective of such systems is to continuously improve the energy management using appropriately all available resources. In this framework, the expansion of the available energy resources to renewable energy potential opens new perspectives. On the other hand, new challenges may be posed by the nature of these new sources like possible discontinuities in the availability and subsequent difficulties in the integration to the general grid. In the framework of the present thesis, the general principles of development, implementation and operation of the Energy Management System in a particular Armed Forces camp will be studied in conjunction with the environmental conditions in the wider area of the premises of the camp, including extreme values. Relevant modeling systems for the feasibility of energy interventions will be developed to complement or even achieve complete autonomy, in terms of electric energy. The pilot model that will be developed will be also tested to alternative geographic areas, over equivalent systems, using appropriate modeling and simulation tools.
