Concerns about climate change and energy costs are key drivers in the growth oí Battery Vehicle (BV) utilization. In the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) paradigm, an aggregation of BVs is used for the provision of energy and capacity services, including ancillary services to the grid. Participation in the V2G framework may entail additional charge and discharge of the BV batteries, leading to reduced life....
The evolution of the power grid calls for a smarter infrastructure, capable of integrating different energy sources and all the different kind of users of the grid. In addition, it should be able to dynamically adapt to fluctuations in loads and sources. In the Smart Grid scenario, energy storage systems (ESSs) play a fundamental role, allowing for decoupling production and usage times. Lithium ion...
The reduction of energy consumption in electric trains is a big challenge of the next years. Lower consumptions means a more convenient design of the electric power supply network of the trains; in particular increasing the margin between peak demand and maximum power limit of the network improves the overall reliability. To this aim, the energy recovered from braking of one train may be used to aid...
Energy independence, reduction of CO2 emissions and increasing oil prices are the key drivers for the development of new transportation technologies, among which the Battery Electric Vehicles. Instead of representing merely a load, they can provide ancillary services to the power grid: such integration of vehicles into the grid is known as V2G. The continuous charging and discharging of the batteries...
The paper describes a calibration procedure for a structured-light sinusoidal-fringe profilometer which requires the acquisition of images of a plane in one or more unknown poses when it is illuminated by sinusoidal fringe patterns projected by an illuminator. The procedure does not require specific target but only a planar surface which can be freely moved or rotated around a vertical axis.
The paper deals with the topic of demand side management in smart grids. After an introduction on Advanced Metering Infrastructures the paper illustrates an architecture the authors are proposing, focused on the development of smart meters and actuators for demand side management. The first results concerning the implementation of suitable digital signal processing algorithms for the electric energy...
