In this paper, an internet-like procedure for power management of MV electrical networks with responsive busses is presented. This procedure is based on the “token ring” internet protocol and considers a multi-level co-ordination of all active customers. It aims at reducing the complexity of distributed networks management while ensuring free customer participation in services for the grid support...
This paper describes a Virtual Power Plant, containing aggregated micro-generation sources and Electric Vehicles as mobile loads. A UK generic distribution network is used to build a VPP comprising several micro-grids. EV and micro-generation penetration levels are projected for the year 2030, based on previous studies. A multi time period optimization is performed to minimise carbon emissions and...
A widespread diffusion of Electric Vehicles plugged into distribution networks is strongly dependent on the establishment of a suitable co-ordinated management of all active resources in the grid. Vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing bidirectional power flows of on-board batteries, would enable a responsive behaviour of vehicles. EVs aggregators, such as swapping stations and car parking, could provide...
In a smart grid scenario, electrical networks are bound to evolve towards an internet-like model, where every node is connected each other, responsive to any signal, flexible and price-smart. A novel power management system should also ensure the customer participation in services for the grid support on the basis of network signals. The proposed methodology is a “token ring” internet-like procedure...
The energetic scenario shows ever growing energy consumptions and the need of an optimal management of different types of energy distributed resources. The synergy among different energy carriers could be exploited to achieve a more efficient use of the resources, an increase of the reliability of the electrical system, a greater integration of renewable generation in the system and both a demand...
The ever growing connection of different types of Distributed Generation (DG) in electrical distribution networks makes the issue of regulation and co-ordination more stringent. In this paper, an iterative procedure is presented to manage storages and distributed multi-generation devices. The operational optimisation is focused on providing, at minimum overall production cost, electric and thermal...
The recent growth of energy consumptions concerns not only electrical demand. In this perspective, the synergy between different energy vectors seems to have a key role for the future. In this paper distributed multi-generation in multi-vector networks with energy hubs and the advantages of this system for improving the management of loads and generators in the electric network are analysed. In particular,...
