ABSTRACT

This research project aims to investigate in depth the potential of smart micro-grids with synergistic control of distributed energy resources (DERs) as one of the major key-drivers for the energy transition towards the European target of 50% renewable in the electricity generation by 2030. Specifically, it proposes a paradigm shift in micro-grid vision to suit low-carbon-economy targets, extending the proactive role of prosumers, and strengthening the value chain of electrical market in the low-end side. In this perspective, new interactions between suppliers and consumers will be in the core of this analysis.
The project targets four main domains of research:
- Business/Economics domain: Identify new customer-oriented services made available by technology innovations in the field of micro-grids, evaluate the socio-economic impact of prosumers’ aggregation, and design incentive mechanisms to foster their adoption.
- Power & Energy domain: Analyze the functional improvement allowed by micro-grid-based layered architecture of electrical systems and their role in an electricity market based Distribution Management System (DMS).
- Control & Communication domain: Exploit the control potential of DERs equipped with power electronics in conjunction with smart dispatching functionality implemented by a micro-grid supervisor (E-LAN).
- Physical experimental micro-grid domain: Test micro-grids feasibility, stability and cost effectiveness, by synergistic control of power electronics interfacing DERs, storage and responsive loads.
All the above tasks are functional to the main aim of the project, that is to quantify the real “value” that the services provided by DERs may have in a real network environment, providing information about the expected costs and infer on the expected participation of end-users to the network management.
