These towns, located geographically far from the big cities, are characterized by low economic and demographic indices. Despite the harsh context, for a wide development of the electric mobility, little towns must keep pace with these changes to avoid being isolated from the main cities. People living in the countryside usually moves towards big cities for various reasons, either related to work or to living needs. This implies that people must be able to do their usual displacements using electric mobility, i.e. reaching the destinations and supplying the Electric Vehicle (EV) through charging infrastructure. This paper aims to study a feasible use of the electric mobility applied on the case of Cuenca, located in middle Spain. A brief presentation of the geographic region is provided together with the routes of interest considered. Then, a set of different EVs is taken as reference and an analytical modelisation of the vehicle is provided. Vehicle model is then used to simulate the electrical energy request to complete each route, and results are used to compare the performances offered by different types of EVs chosen.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117116456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is necessary to study the feasibility of the various strategies available, especially for the involvement of residential users in services that can contribute to the management of the electricity grid. The advent of blockchain technology has enabled the development of new business models for the electricity market, opening this world to end users who previously did not have the opportunity to participate in energy trading and allowing the implementation of services to ensure the proper operation of the power grid. Due to its characteristics, blockchain could be the solution to balancing problems caused by the penetration of unpredictable renewable sources. This paper describes a test bench for a Smart Prosumer simulation with the goal of emulating a user who is both a consumer and a producer, but also able to be smart, i.e., to optimally manage production and consumption and to communicate with a blockchain network for the provision of energy services. The document shows the different components of the test bench and how it is connected to a local blockchain implemented in the framework of the Blorin research project.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114429352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular a new model of intraday market called single intraday coupling (SIDC) has been introduced to allow agents to adjust their position close to the delivery time. This model is based on a continuous trading mechanism and in the next future it will be implemented with auctions. Different countries have already introduced auctions for their internal intraday (ID) market with good results. This paper aims to investigate what could be the best solution for a future model of ID market through statistical analyses of the German ID power market composed by continuous trading, one auction and through a model able to replicate the agent’s strategies in the continuous trading mechanism. First, considerations about strategies adopted by players in continuous trading are presented. Then, the impact of auctions in continuous trading prices is shown and discussed. In the third part, considerations developed from the ID model are presented. Finally, an outlook for future development is proposed according to the timeframe in which agents submit auctions and the impossibility to price the transmission capacity in continuous.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130623720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, rough driving conditions like slippery highways, hilly areas and irregular terrains enhance the nonlinearities existing in vehicle models. Time varying parameters like resistance, capacitance, inductance and the nonlinearities can alter the performance efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles. In this paper, a robust adaptive integral backstepping controller has been proposed to attenuate the effects of parametric uncertainties while considering the nonlinearities of system model. Lyapunov stability theory has been used to ensure the global asymptotic stability of the system. A worldwide harmonized light vehicle testing procedure has been used to test the speed of vehicle. The proposed adaptive nonlinear controller has been simulated on MATLAB/Simulink. The comparison study of proposed adaptive nonlinear controller has been considered with the recently suggested nonlinear controllers in the literature. To ensure the effectiveness of proposed controller in real-time, a controller hardware in loop experimental test has been considered.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124524034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A spectrum of various adjacent ‘energy cells’ in three countries – Austria, Belgium and Norway, are analyzed, and recommendations for the development of regional and renewable energy cell system are to be provided. Essentially, energy cells represent Energy Communities (ECs), within the regulatory frameworks of the observed regions. The implemented R2EC system aims at maximizing the utilization of the locally generated renewable energy, by automated control of electrical storage, as well as high electricity use applications like E-heating, Heat Pumps and E-vehicles. To improve the utilization of renewable energy generated locally, the system is also designed to interact with other energy cells. The overall system resilience and optimization are also investigated. The R2EC approach aims at developing tailor-made solutions that satisfy the different local and regional requirements, along with the electrical energy demand of the observed cells. A unique opportunity is created here, as the regional requirements, renewable energy potential, developments in the field of ECs and local conditions in these regions differ significantly. A comprehensive analysis of the simulation model, the technical simulations, results and the evaluation for the observed testbeds are illustrated in the scope of this detailed study. The simulations showed increased Self Consumption Rates (SCRs) of both individual and overall energy cell, and improved Energy Autarky Rates (EARs) in the observed test beds. A brief comparison of the quantified advantages observed in the three regions is also made.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132565025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transition model is called also of the 3D: decarbonization, digitalization and decentralization. An important role is played from the digitalization and smartization of the grids that permit the flexibility of the demand. In the future it will be increasingly possible to produce energy closer to where it is consumed, extending the transformation of passive consumers into active consumers, either directly or through aggregations. An important share of energy consumption is due to residential, tertiary and commercial buildings. The so-called end-users. Recent European Directives highlighted clearly the role of the end-users as active players of the system. The goal of this paper is to highlight the advantages of distributed generation combined with the possibility of aggregation of users, transforming the electrical infrastructure into an aggregate of mini and micro networks in an energy communities scenario. In this scenario, the electricity transmission and distribution networks are destined to profoundly change their role, which will be that of guaranteeing a reliable connection capable of allowing exchanges between the various generations of electricity and overcoming the criticality deriving from the aleatory nature of some renewable sources. Pending the complete transformation of the system, the paper proposes a classification of smart microgrids models for the aggregation of the end-users in energy communities. The paper proposes an hybrid model of microgrids, based on a DC common power sharing generation, particularly suitable for multi-unit residential buildings that are the majority of residential infrastructures in our urban centers.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130294447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
