As reported in the "Clean energy for all Europeans package" set by the EU, a sustainable transition from fossil fuels towards cleaner energy is necessary to improve the quality of life of citizens and the livability in cities. The exploitation of renewable sources, the improvement of energy performance in buildings and the need for cutting-edge...

The present paper describes an Energy Management System developed to operate a polygeneration microgrid where demand response strategies are applied. The proposed tool is characterized by a detailed representation of generation units and flexible loads, as well as electric/thermal networks and storage systems. Furthermore, the interaction...

The present paper derives from the need of determining new appealing mechanisms for the electrical system operators to encourage the participation of distributed energy resources to the markets of ancillary services. In particular, the research activity conducted by the University of Genoa and Ansaldo Energia company is focused on the...

A BEMS (Building Energy Management System) for demand response is proposed for a smart building equipped with renewables and a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System (HVAC) fed by a geothermal heat pump. The developed BEMS is based on an optimization model able to manage the HVAC plant, fan coils and rooms' temperature to minimize...

The paper presents a methodology to estimate the energy consumptions of a full electric bus in different traffic and operating conditions. Starting from driving cycles, evaluated through a simulation model developed in Aimsun, the Matlab/Simulink energy model of the bus calculates the main electrical and mechanical performance indicators such...

In recent decades, many EU and national regulations have been issued in order to increase the energy efficiency in different sectors and, consequently, to reduce environmental pollution. In the building sector, energy efficiency interventions are usually based on the use of innovative insulated materials and on the installation of cogeneration...
