The ENCOURAGE project aims at rationalizing energy usage in building by implementing a smart energy grid based on intelligent scheduling of energy consuming appliances, renewable energy production, and inter-building energy trading. This paper presents the reference architecture proposed in the context of the ENCOURAGE project, and relates it with the goals of its research efforts.
The paper presents some significant results of an existensive modelling activity being carried out within ATLANTIDE, an on-going Italian Research Project, for studying the active distribution networks under different evolutionary scenarios. The attention is focused on the DMS and its integration with Active Demand side integration with particular reference to urban distribution networks. The results...
The paper briefly presents the solutions adopted inside the Smart Grid Navicelli Project for demonstrating the feasibility of optimized management and planning tools and methods to an industrial district. The project involves both a LV Virtual Power Plant and a MV storage compensation system performing several functions for easing the integration of large share of renewables and supplying services...
ATLANTIDE is a three years research project, funded by the Italian Research Fund for the Power System development. Its aims are: i) developing a digital archive containing reference models of passive and active distribution networks; ii) simulating predictive scenarios for the development of the Italian distribution system according to the load profile evolution and to the challenges caused by the...
This paper is primarily aimed at demonstrating how energy tariffs with a significant price difference between day and night can make energy storage systems more profitable for an active customer. An optimisation procedure, based on the “energy hub” concept, has been devised and applied for a coordinated operation of local generation and process-side electric and thermal storages. The optimized integrated...
The paper presents the main characteristics of a centralized two-stage scheduler designed for the integration in the Distribution Management System (DMS) under development in the framework of an Italian “Smart Grid” Project. The paper first reviews the trends in the automation of power distribution networks, and then describes the two-stage scheduler and its application to typical Italian urban and...

The two stage scheduler represents a promising approach for the management of distribution network with high penetration of DERs, with computational time compatible for online applications. The EMTP-RV network representation allows a detailed modeling of the various distributed resources.
