The big bluff of oil companies

www.huffingtonpost.it // february 2014 The Eni media campaign focuses on the emergency of a competitive European industry, penalized by gas and electricity which is much more expensive than in the United States. The problem is real, but there are also real doubts about the sustainability of a model founded on cheap hydrocarbons. Besides this, what… Continua a leggere The big bluff of oil companies

Electricity market. Is the design really obsolete?

www.qualenergia.it // february 2014 In the Italian electricity system outlined there is the hypothesis that the closure of part of the thermoelectric capacity would compromise system security. It would be better to leave the reserve margin to drop and see if commodity prices return to levels compatible with ensuring the system. An article by Giuseppe… Continua a leggere Electricity market.

Modeling and control of low voltage flexible units for enhanced operation of distribution feeders

IECON 2013 – 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE, 2013, pp. 7469-7474 // 13 November 2013 In some networks Distributed Generators (DGs) are phasing out conventional power plants in terms of power production but still large efforts are required for providing ancillary services. In this paper the usage of fast response units like a Micro… Continua a leggere Modeling and control of low voltage flexible units for enhanced operation of distribution feeders

An OFF-GRID Base Station Powered By Sun Wind, and Water

Intelec 2013, Hamburg, Germany // 13 – 17 October 2013 With the fast deployment of mobile network the energy consumption is increasing at the same time. The Radio Access Network may occupy more than 60% total energy consumption of a mobile operator. How to improve the energy efficiency of the Base Stations is vital important.… Continua a leggere An OFF-GRID Base Station Powered By Sun Wind, and Water

A novel mechanical hardware in the loop platform for distributed generation systems

Distributed Generation and Alternative Energy Journal, vol. 28, no. 3, pp. 7-27 // 24 September 2013 The growing number of distributed generation (DG) plants has emphasized the need to perform tests before the plants begin to operate. DG systems are complex enough that setting up of an experimental phase requires high costs and efforts. Moreover,… Continua a leggere A novel mechanical hardware in the loop platform for distributed generation systems

Dispersed generation to provide ancillary services: AlpStore project

International Conference on Clean Electrical Power (ICCEP), pp. 133-138 // 29 August 2013 In the future, electrical systems should be able to integrate all users at the same time and guarantee power quality, stability and safety over time. The integration of renewable energy sources leads to new issues involving the intermittence of this generation typology.… Continua a leggere Dispersed generation to provide ancillary services: AlpStore project

Reduction method for active distribution networks

2013 IEEE Grenoble, 2013, pp. 1-6 // 20 June 2013 On-line security assessment is traditionally performed by Transmission System Operators at the transmission level, ignoring the effective response of distributed generators and small loads. On the other hand the required computation time and amount of real time data for including Distribution Networks also would be… Continua a leggere Reduction method for active distribution networks
