This paper proposes a methodology for the identification of equivalent models of active distribution networks. Due to the increasing installation of distributed generation plants, distribution networks are acquiring an "active" role in the management of the overall power system. In this context, equivalent modeling is becoming essential for...

The paper proposes a control strategy for managing the load associated to the HVAC system of a building. The idea is to use the thermal energy stored into the building to contribute to frequency response during emergency conditions and improve islanding transition. The frequency dynamics of a Microgrid, following a disturbance on the main grid,...

The exploitation of combined PhotoVoltaic plants and storage systems is nowadays assuming growing importance, due to the technical, environmental and economical benefits which can derive from an optimal integration. In this paper, a mixed-integer algorithm for the optimal dispatch of a storage system, based on the day-ahead photovoltaic...

Cruise ships are among the most demanding vessels typology due to their operational profile and the presence of passengers on board. They are characterized by a significant amount of installed power necessary for the electric propulsion system and hotel services. Distributed power generation seems to be in principle a suitable solution, worth...

The exploitation of combined photovoltaic plants and storage systems is nowadays assuming growing importance due to the technical, energetic, environmental and economical benefits which can derive from an optimal integration. In this paper a mixed-integer algorithm for optimal dispatch of a lithium-ions storage system, based on the day ahead PV...

Recent and strict regulations in the maritime sector regarding exhaust gas emissions has led to an evolution of shipboard systems with a progressive increase of complexity, from the early utilization of electric propulsion to the realization of an integrated shipboard power system organized as a microgrid. Therefore, novel approaches, such as...

This paper focuses on the development of equivalent models able to represent the dynamical behavior of active distribution networks. The availability of these models is becoming of fundamental importance for allowing the interoperability between the transmission and distribution system operators. This is due to the large deployment of...
