The increasing integration of massive quantities of generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RES) constitutes a challenge for the pan-European system. Reserve provision for the balancing of the network is an important service that, in principle, should be provided by all the units connected to the network, including RES generators themselves as well as flexible loads and storage systems. However,...
A zero-energy building can be defined as a building with almost zero net energy consumption. This means that the total amount of energy spent in the building in a year is approximately equal to the amount of energy generated on the site by renewables or cogeneration. A smart meter system is very important for these buildings in order to manage and control the energy flows. In fact, the smart meter...
Today, in the grid there are more and more installation of renewable energy plants. The renewable sources are so discontinues and they may affect the stability and efficiency of the grid. Many distribution service operators are experimenting the battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to integrate them on the grid and resolve these problems. This paper analyses the energy performance under real conditions...
The use of small storage in low voltage (LV) systems can spread because costs are decreasing and because it is more sustainable to optimize the energy produced locally from renewable sources. In the new eco-buildings approach the use of heat pump for heating and cooling appears more and more appropriate. The recent Italian Technical Standard CEI 0–21 describes features and installation schemes for...
This paper introduces development of a small scale microgrid which consists of a PV system, an energy storage device, and a load. The system is intended for conducting experiments to demonstrate and/or investigate different design and control issues related to microgrids. The system has also a data acquisition and power management component in order to facilitate monitoring and management of the system...
The paper proposes a new idea, called "Interactive Energy", for the dynamic pricing and dispatching of the charging services of Electric Vehicles (EVs) in a micro-grid. In the proposed approach, the customers can choose their recharge time through an interactive application able to indicate different recharge times and related prices in function of the real time conditions of the micro-grid...
