Microturbines represent a suitable technology to be adopted in smart microgrids since they are characterized by affordable capital and maintenance costs, high reliability and flexibility, and low environmental impact; moreover, they can be fed by fossil fuels or biofuels. They can operate in cogeneration and trigeneration mode, thus permitting to attain high global efficiency values of the energy...
Today, the concept of Smart Grid is very often strictly related to Electric Vehicles (EVs) infrastructures. EVs have not gas emissions, they have silent driving and much higher efficiency than internal combustion engine vehicles and, in particular, they are fundamental for the world's sustainable mobility. In fact, many industries and universities have decided to replace their corporate fleet with...
The widespread of smart microgrids has been also determined by the development of more and more efficient cogeneration and trigeneration power plants fed by fossil fuels or renewable sources. In the residential and the tertiary sectors, many projects are focused on the installation of low size microturbines, engines, chillers and heat pumps to sustainably provide electrical and thermal energy to final...
Experimental tests and demonstration projects are very useful to derive new methods and tools for the optimal control of smart grids. In this work, the University of Genoa Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM) is firstly presented, in connection with the different sub-systems that compose the overall system. Then, a simplified mathematical dynamic model, that can be used for optimal control purposes,...
