Simulation-based analysis of the potentiality of incentives for prosumer flexibility
2016
In the last few decades, the diffusion of technological solutions in the green energy area has often been fostered and advanced by governments. Thanks to an incentive-driven policy, advancements in clean energy utilizing Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) such as solar panels and wind turbines, have spread all over the world and have become part of our everyday life. In this paper, the fostering approach of government to support the dissemination of prosumer flexibility inside the grid is examined. Full inclusion of prosumers into the regulatory framework of the electricity sector can lead to important improvements regarding the network operating conditions. Prosumers can be dynamic actors in …
Generatori fotovoltaici dinamici: aspetti tecnici e valutazioni economiche per il loro impiego
2009
La strategia adottata da molte nazioni, europee e non, di affidare la produzione dell’energia elettrica ad un insieme equilibrato di fonti energetiche ha determinato un incremento delle attività di ricerca anche per lo sfruttamento della risorsa solare. Queste attività intraprese dalla comunità scientifica e seguite con attenzione dal mondo imprenditoriale si sono concentrate sulle tecniche e metodologie innovative di conversione della fonte, sulla concentrazione della radiazione solare nel punto di collocazione del dispositivo di conversione o ancora sull’ottimizzazione dell’orientamento del dispositivo rispetto alla direzione della radiazione. Questo lavoro focalizza la sua attenzione su …
Practical tables for the design of the grounding systems in distribution networks in presence of metallic interconnection
2009
The present paper deals with the dependence of the ground current, due to a single-line-to-ground fault in a secondary substation, on the electrical and geometrical parameters of a Medium Voltage distribution network in which a metallic interconnection between the grounding systems is realized. Examining different situations, some easy-to-use tables are provided for a practical approach to the design of the ground electrodes of the secondary substations in these networks. The relevance of the work is due to the lack in the international standards of specific indications on how to consider the presence of the interconnection elements in distribution networks.
Comparing the Impact of Electric Vehicles on Urban and Insular Networks
2022
Transport sector is moving towards clean and green transportation with the growing market of electric vehicles globally. Electric vehicles are independent fossil fuels consumption, but the massive adoption of electric vehicles soon can lead to a significant burden on the power distribution networks. In this paper, a study on the potential impact of electric vehicles on the power distribution networks of two different regions with totally different realities of population density, an average number of cars per inhabitant, and travel habits has been carried out. The first region is the island of Favignana having an insular power distribution network, while the other region, the city of Palerm…
INVERTER-BASED DISTRIBUTED GENERATORS, MODELING AND CONTROL
In the last few years, electrical power generation is moving from a centralized generation towards distributed generation including on-site Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). In order to overcome RES related issues, as intermittent and fluctuating power, storage elements are included in the on-site generation system. The interaction between distributed generator (DG) units including RES, storage and front-end power converters should be carefully modeled in order to analyze the power system stability. An accurate modeling of DGs is required. In this thesis, a new modeling approach has been proposed for the inverter-based DGs based on the concept of electrostatic synchronous machines. Detailed …
Economical Analysis of Financial Supports for Large-Scale Photovoltaic PV plants in Eastern Europeen Union Countries
2010
Today, photovoltaic (PV) attracts considerable interest among renewable energy sources (RES), because of its potential to significantly contribute to the future of clean energies. However, PV development is strongly related to the support policies introduced by national governments. The modification or fading out of such support schemes can strongly influence the development of the PV market in any given country. Although the PV market in European developing countries is still quite small, it has been growing rapidly in recent years. Until 2006, the installation of small off-grid PV plants prevailed in eastern EU countries. Starting from 2008, large-scale on-grid PV plants have been put int…
Load Flow Solution of radial distribution networks with ZI loads
2008
In this paper, a methodology to solve radial distribution networks, with constant current and/or impedance loads, is proposed. The techniques currently available to solve such systems are based either on iterative methods or on the bus impedance matrix. The method developed is the extension of a technique that is valid to solve networks made of impedances with one supply point. The methodology can be applied to directly and rapidly solve large distribution systems in which the loads are modeled as constant current/impedance. It is also able to solve meshed systems having voltage-dependent loads, inside an iterative backward/forward method.
A HEURISTIC LOAD MANAGEMENT APPROACH FOR DOMESTIC APPLIANCES
2014
In this paper, an innovative heuristic for domestic loads management is proposed. The method is straightforward and easy to be implemented on embedded systems. The idea is to start from the mathematical modeling of loads and to perform a profile based scheduling, namely loads will try to fit a given schedule. The solution of the scheduling is based on a rolling horizon of 24 hours and is recomputed when an ON signal is provided to the considered appliance. Experimental results show the pertinence of the approach and how it may be profitably used to lower the energy costs for the end user.
