This work explores two different techniques for the prediction of the Italian day-ahead electricity market prices, the zonal prices and the uniform purchase price (Prezzo Unico Nazionale or PUN). The study is conducted over a 2-year long period, with hourly data of the prices to be predicted and a large set of variables used as predictors (i.e. historical prices, forecast load, wind and solar power...
On October 23rd, 2014 the European Council confirmed the targets for the new 2030 climate and energy policy. In this paper we present a methodology to assess the impact of the achievement of such targets on the development and on the operation of the power system, to determine the necessary investments on infrastructures by means of a cost-benefit analysis based on simulations and to estimate the...
The integration of larger and larger amounts of wind and solar power is a major target of the European Union. However adding renewable generation brings about a variable and only partly predictable source of power generation to a power system that has to balance generation and varying demand at all times. This represents a challenge for power system planning and operation. To this regard, different...
The paper reports the results of a study concerning the impact on the development and on the operation of the Italian power system of a significant penetration of plug-in electric vehicles with a focus on year 2030. To this aim, a scenario on the deployment of electric vehicles in the Italian market has been defined, together with specific charge profiles, differentiated in terms of concentration...
We present a decision support procedure for the configuration of distributed generation systems in residential districts, where various types of energy demands (electrical load, high and medium temperature thermal load, cooling load) have to be served. In the configuration process alternative solutions have to be compared, both from a technical and an economical point of view, taking into account...
The paper aims at analyzing four possible development scenarios of the Italian power system up to 2050 using the multi-regional model MATISSE (TIMES based). This study has been realized for the WP2 of the European project SUSPLAN that aims to develop strategies, recommendations and benchmarks for the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the European context on a time horizon stretching...
