Following electrification of automotive transport, studies on the penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) are widespread, especially in defined contexts. As major transport hubs, airports fall within contexts worthy of interest. In this work, a forecast of the demand for electric mobility in an Italian international airport (Rome–Fiumicino) is presented. The main goal of the research is to build up a methodology that allows evaluating the penetration index of EVs that will access the airport parks in 2025 and 2030, to be able to have a preliminary assessment of the number of charging points necessary for serving them. In the paper, first, a wide review of proposed scenarios on the penetration of EVs at international and national level and available data on local automotive transport are presented, as a preliminary study for the definition of reference scenarios for the local context. Then, the proposed methodology is presented and applied to the specific case study. Finally, a preliminary sizing of the required charging infrastructure is reported. The results show that a significant impact on the airport electricity network can be foreseen, and it requires proper planning of adaptation/upgrading actions. The proposed approach can be considered as a reference for similar studies on electrical mobility in other airport areas around the world.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly permeating our daily life and we ever more commit our data to the cloud. Events like the COVID-19 pandemic put an exceptional burden upon ICT. This involves increasing implementation and use of data centers, which increased energy use and environmental impact. The scope of this work is to summarize the present situation on data centers as to environmental impact and opportunities for improvement. First, we introduce the topic, presenting estimated energy use and emissions. Then, we review proposed strategies for energy efficiency and conservation in data centers. Energy uses pertain to power distribution, ICT, and non-ICT equipment (e.g., cooling). Existing and prospected strategies and initiatives in these sectors are identified. Among key elements are innovative cooling techniques, natural resources, automation, low-power electronics, and equipment with extended thermal limits. Research perspectives are identified and estimates of improvement opportunities are mentioned. Finally, we present an overview on existing metrics, regulatory framework, and bodies concerned.

Domestic energy storage systems are making their way into the homes of e-vehicle users. They support dependable and cheap recharge during off-peak hours, relieving the power demand through implicit peak shaving. The minimization of charging costs at home relies heavily on the optimal management of the storage system, both in the design and in the control stages. In this work, the design of a battery energy storage system is optimized by means of quadratic programming. The resulting system is continuously governed by a model-predictive control, that accounts for power market and battery degradation online. The performance in terms of long-term system costs is assessed using simulation. An average daily energy consumption is compared to a profile tailored on the user.

Users' load aggregation, control of smart appliances and exploitation of thermal inertia of buildings are among key elements to improve energy demand of buildings, towards the goals of near zero energy buildings. In this paper, we investigated a case study of an existing residential and commercial building with a microgrid and advanced technical and control systems. We have developed a model to simulate loads and the effects of control systems. The results show how increasing the extent of the microgrid and control strategies improves the load profile and energy consumption, also preserving the users' habits and comfort. Via these elements, the concept of near zero energy building can further advance towards a “near zero power building” or “zero-kilometer energy building”.

Buildings with mixed residential and commercial units show relevant power peak that are further increased by shifting from gas-driven systems to electric source. The proposed solution is to organize a microgrid for such type of buildings, aggregating different users with a common electric distribution system with a single connection to the grid, a local common generation and a common heating/cooling system (electric-driven). This approach upgrades a group of independent small users with rigid loads and chaotic behavior, to a large user with a flexible and controlled profile. A central building automation control system (BACS) managing all built-in technical systems and smart appliances may control the load minute by minute, shifting in time shiftable and controllable loads and merging different kinds of loads, obtaining a flatter diagram. The authors consider the suggested approach convenient to realize demand side management (DSM) for residential/commercial buildings. DSM exploits the flexibility of smart appliances and the thermal inertia of the structure, by imposing local and central set-points of heating and cooling systems according to actual global net load and generation at a given moment. In the present paper, main aspects of the proposed control system are presented and simulations for a given case study with local PV generation are provided. Results show that this approach may lead to a power peak reduction up to 20% even in the unfavorable case of combining commercial and residential units. Moreover, full self-consumption of locally generated energy from RES may be achieved.

In order to improve power system operation, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) have been installed in high voltage/medium voltage stations by Distribution System Operators (DSOs) around the world. Support for restoration of MV distribution networks after a blackout or HV interruption is among the possible new functionalities of BESSs. With the aim to improve quality of service, the present paper investigates whether a BESS, installed in the HV/MV substation, can improve the restoration process indicators of a distribution grid. As a case study, an actual active distribution network of e-distribuzione, the main Italian DSO, has been explored. The existing network is located in central Italy. It supplies two municipalities of approximately 10,000 inhabitants and includes renewable generation plants. Several configurations are considered, based on: the state of the grid at blackout time; the BESS state of charge; and the involvement of Dispersed Generation (DG) in the restoration process. Three restoration plans (RPs) have been defined, involving the BESS alone, or in coordination with DG. A MATLAB®/Simulink® program has been designed to simulate the restoration process in each configuration and restoration plan. The results show that the BESS improves restoration process quality indicators in different simulated configurations, allowing the operation in controlled island mode of parts of distribution grids, during interruptions or blackout conditions. The defined restoration plans set the priority and the sequence of controlled island operations of parts of the grid to ensure a safe and better restoration. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that a BESS can be a valuable element towards an improved restoration procedure.

Contrary to many expectations, the development of smart (mini-)grids is slow, notwithstanding drastic improvements in innovative technologies, and the reasons for this are not strictly technical. The problem lies in regulatory barriers. Moreover, the current business models accommodate utilities more so than customers. Net metering is a key enabling factor for smart (mini-)grids. This article addresses the economic benefits of net metering for residential customers. Energy demands for individual apartments and common areas are calculated using the daily energy-consumption behavior of occupants for typical days of each month of the year. Photovoltaic (PV ) generation is estimated for a residential building in Italy. The proposed net-metering scheme is applied on the aggregate energy demand of a selected building. The current energy billing without modifications is compared to the case in which net-metering tariffs are applied to the billing. Results show that noticeable savings can be obtained in the net-metering case.

This article presents new multilevel modulation strategy based on single carrier-based pulse-width modulation for dual six-phase (twelve-phase) symmetrical/asymmetrical star-end winding converter. The four standard voltage source inverters with one bidirectional switch (MOSFET/IGBT) per phase constitute the power circuit. Further, through the two capacitor bi-directional switch link the neutral link. An algorithm-based single carrier zero-shifted five-level modulation (SCZSFM) modulates each two-level VSI as a five-level output multilevel inverter. The complete AC drive is numerically modelled in MATLAB/PLECS software and tested for predicting theoretical background.

Environmental concerns and European policies push for more energy efficient buildings, towards the goal of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs), buildings with an high efficiency and for which the low amount of energy required for the fixed technical systems (TBS) is covered by energy from renewable sources produced on-site. Innovative technical solutions and social/economic schemes are key elements to this purpose. Results on the simulation of energy performance and control system behavior of a real case are analyzed. The paper shows that the sizing of the local photovoltaic system (PV) based on the yearly energy spent by the TBS allows to obtain the nZEB qualification but it doesn't determine an optimal power behavior. The solution proposed in this work is to arrange a microgrid with a unique point of connection to the grid that includes the local generation systems, the common electric heating system by source grounded heat pumps and the residential units of a part of the buildings. Sizing of on-site power generation from renewable sources, like PV, may be developed based on the energy demand. The microgrid is managed by a common building automation control system (BACS). Control strategies have been analyzed, in order to realize demand-side management (DSM) actions, combining the advantages of thermal inertia, flexible loads, energy pricing and local generation. The DSM strategy operating on the controllable loads and on the electric and thermal storage can reach a “near zero power behavior” so the building can become a “km zero energy building” (KZEB).

In the modern power system, characterization of customer's demand plays a vital role for Demand Side Management. Demand flexibility information, extracted from the aggregate demand behaviour of customers, presents more comprehensive picture for the aggregator or system operator. There is an existence of diverse flexible time slots during a day in different time periods. Due to the diverse energy consumption behaviour of the residential customers, extraction of flexibility and its associated potential time durations is a challenging task. To extract flexibility information from aggregate residential customers, a flexibility indicator is formulated in this paper. Information presented gives an indication about flexible time slots in terms of numerical value that is useful for a system operator or an aggregator for demand side flexibility assessment and this will lead to design and initiate DSM programs.

Net metering is used to incentivize the distributed generation owners. It is introduced in Pakistan with the aim to promote the building integrated local generation. Presently, it is hard to find any study on the economic incentive indicators of the net metering policy for residential customers in Pakistan. This paper presents the economic evaluation of net metering benefits to the individual residential consumers in the presence of Building Integrated PV (BIPV) system under current net metering regulations in Pakistan. The energy demand of the individual apartments and the common area services inside the building is calculated by means of daily energy usage of the residents for a typical day. The aggregate demand of the residential building, comprising of 100 residential units and common area services, is calculated. The estimation of power profiles of the PV generation system is carried out with the help of PVGIS. At the end, the economic analysis of the proposed net metering scheme is presented. The net metering policy is found to be feasible up-to 50 kWp PV capacity when it is applied on the common area services only and the billing is carried out individually. When it is implemented on the aggregate energy demand of the entire residential building, the annual savings are observed for installed PV capacity above 80 kWp.

The paper presents a feasible model of architecture for the technical building systems (TBS) particularly suitable for nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs). The suggested model aggregates the users around an electric node in order to reach up the threshold value of electric power, and to get a more virtuous and flexible cumulative load profile. Present proposal is a full electric common smart micro grid with a single point of connection, with heating and domestic hot water generated by a centralized electric heat pump system. The renewable energy is provided by a photovoltaic field connected to the common grid. A building automation control system operates those electric TBS modulating the global load for a building demand response (DR). The effectiveness of the proposed model consists of exploiting thermal inertia as an energy storage, by forcing both local and central set points of heating and air conditioning systems. The control is based on the integrated and common operation of all users and all systems of the building as one unique “large user.” The integrated management of the grid is operated to control the whole electric demand exploiting the self-consumption, avoiding peaks, and maintaining a flat load profile. The suggested microgrid model allows concretely the possibility to realize a building DR with benefits for the end-users in a consumer view point. A study of the effect of these control opportunities on whole electric demand is done by simulation on a case study.

Due to the increasing amount of energy consumption and CO2 emissions, Building Automation Systems have been developed in order to increase energy performance in buildings and guarantee indoor comfort at the same time. However, along with the development of the hardware itself, the need to develop also suitable control systems and methods for improving the management of smart buildings, is arising. In this framework, fuzzy logic may be a valuable tool for developing suitable control systems. In this paper, fuzzy logic has been used in order to optimize comfort features and energy demand in an office. Starting from the model defined in a previous work, the aim of the paper is to simulate different configurations of the room and compare the results in order to evaluate the impact of room variations (window geometry, glass properties and wall reflectance) on the fuzzy control system. Given the same solar radiation inputs, it was noticed that different room configurations require a diversified management of the shading systems and artificial lighting control in order to achieve a good balance between comfort and energy consumption.

Building Automation Systems BAS are the key to improve the energy performance of buildings and the occupants' comfort. There is a need to build a knowledge base on the matter and to grow suitable algorithms for a smart management of the “intelligent buildings”. Indeed, fuzzy logic is a valuable candidate for developing robust algorithms. The scope of the present work is to validate a fuzzy logic approach able to optimize the level of energy performance and comfort in an office space, taking advantage of BAS and solar energy. In BAS, dynamic elements (e.g. dynamic façade and luminaires) can exploit daylight and solar gain; on the condition that well-programmed integrated multicriteria decision making methods are used. In this paper, a virtual model of a Smart Office Room SOR, equipped with dynamic shading, lighting and air conditioning control system, was studied and different scenarios were considered: i) control versus no-control; ii) economy versus comfort mode; iii) fluorescent versus LED; iv) dimming versus switching. Both economy and comfort mode showed a better energy performance than non-controlled scenarios. In conclusion, the proposed model is a valuable tool to optimize comfort features and energy demand as a whole.
