In the last years European Union has actively promoted renewable energies and Combined Heat Power (CHP) also for residential tertiary buildings. The exploitation of sources cogeneration seems hampered by regulatory wall that prohibit residential, commercial buildings constitution users clusters. fact, unification up to a threshold value some tens kVA, at least, can facilitate installation energy power plants as solar PV modules or CHP systems (cogeneration) CCHP (tri-generation), overcoming...
Photovoltaic systems have played a key role over the last decade in evolution of electricity sector. In terms safety design, it's important to consider that PV plant constitutes special system generation, where Direct Current (DC) presence results changes technical rules. Moreover, if certain electrical faults occur, is possible source fire. Choices regarding grounding generator and its protection devices are fundamental for design evaluates fire risk. The subject article analysis relation...
In a smart micro-grid (MG) each generator or load has to take part in the network management, joining reactive power supply/voltage control, active supply/frequency fault ride-through capability, and quality control. This paper includes new concept for building integration MGs with zero grid-impact so improving MG efficiency. These aims are shown be achievable an intelligent system, based on dc/ac converter connected point of coupling main grid. system can provide services also including dc...
The present paper deals on a concentrating solar system with thermal energy storage, recognized as potentially useful technology to be integrated in power systems and industries, support their decarbonization. focuses the control of field, employing two‐axis (pitch‐roll) tracking mirrors (heliostats) beam‐down system. presents two innovative aspects technology: an integral error correction algorithm enhance pointing accuracy, use inclinometer for each heliostat, increase reliability. has...
An important support in Demand Response (DR) programs can be provided by the Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs may behave as a load to grid, supplier of electricity grid or an energy storage device. Thanks smart enabling technologies, Utilities manage charging time and rates, gather EVs-detailed meter data and, therefore, implement DR programs. In present paper overview on definitions classification types customers involved implementable is reported. Then special focus integration given,...
The EU DEMO Plant Electrical System (PES) main scopes are to supply all the plant electrical loads and deliver Power Transmission Grid (PTG) net power generated. studies on PES during Pre-Concept Design (PCD) Phase were mainly addressed understand possible issues, related special features both of generated, with respect a same size, be supplied loads. For this purpose, approach was start design different components adopting technologies already utilized in fusion experiments Nuclear Plants...
The paper deals with innovative idea that is to move beyond the current concept of smart grid, proposing a new architecture, called Sustainable Energy Microsystem (SEM). proposed design includes energy sub-systems currently independent: high efficiency buildings, sustainable mobility systems, dispersed generation from renewables and Combined Heat Power units. In paper, authors show main figures SEM report first results about necessary preliminary analysis.
Transport is a main source of pollutants in cities, where air quality major concern. New transport technologies, such as electric vehicles, and public modalities, urban railways, have arisen solutions to this important problem. One the difficulties for adoption vehicles by consumers scarcity suitable charging infrastructure. The use railway power supplies charge vehicle batteries could facilitate deployment infrastructure cities. It would reduce cost because an existing installation....
The Plant Electrical System (PES) of the European DEMOnstration fusion power plant (DEMO), presently under conceptual design, shall supply to loads and deliver net Power Transmission Grid (PTG). Starting from available requirements, applicability DEMO PES technologies design approaches adopted in ITER nuclear plants (NPP) has been evaluated. This article presents results survey proposes alternative solutions deal with identified criticalities.
In a free-market scenario, power system planning is affected by significant degree of uncertainty about time and location generating assets expansion. The paper contains methodology for the evaluation flexibility, defined as attitude transmission to adapt, quickly with limited costs, every change, from initial conditions, particular regard changes in generation. method provides new global local flexibility indices, based on technical economical parameters, Technical Uncertainty Scenarios...
EU-DEMO is a European project, having the ambitious goal to be first demonstrative power plant based on nuclear fusion. The electrical that expected produced in order of 700–800 MW, delivered via connection High Voltage grid. initiation and control fusion processes, besides problems related physics, need very complex systems. Moreover, also conversion output not trivial, especially because inherent discontinuity operations. present article concerns preliminary studies for feasibility...
Electric Vehicles are receiving significant attention due to their zero or low emissions, thus decreasing the high CO2 emissions of transport sector. Their spread is subordinated availability suitable electrical infrastructure for charging, connected public and private electric grids. In addition, in next future, interaction with grid will not be limited charging service (Grid Vehicle, G2V), but could become bidirectional: EVs also able provide auxiliary services grid, according...
In a free-market scenario, power system planning has to deal with significant degree of uncertainty about time and location generating assets expansion. A methodology for the evaluation attitude transmission keep up desired standard reliability under such (that is, flexibility) is presented.
