This increasing load is partially compensated by Distributed Generation (DG), mainly renewable and not controllable, which can however cause occasional overgeneration in the distribution network. All these events are causing unwanted situations in the distribution network, such as congestion or large variations of the power factor. One of the possible solutions to these problems is to open a market for local services, where the Distribution System Operators (DSOs) can find the necessary resources to solve the problems. This paper demonstrates the potential of a Local Services Market (LSM) for grid congestion management in a context of a real use-case. A real portion of the distribution system of Milan has been modelled and integrated into a simulator of a LSM. The results show that the proposed approach represents a valuable solution to the compensation of distribution network congestion. With the assumptions made, the average annual cost of the DSO to buy local services is around 94~€/MWh. This cost may vary depending on the error of the load forecasts, currently equal to approximately 10%.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"63 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120982605","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}

It is an ambitious goal that can only be achieved through the redefinition of the energy system, which contributes with a share equal to 75% of total emissions climate-changing of the European continent. The transport sector is a key component, being responsible for almost a third of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Driven by political incentives linked to the achievement of emissions targets, the automotive industry is slowly converting from the use of internal combustion engines to electric vehicles. In this context, hydrogen can play a decisive role. Fuel cell vehicles are zero-emission, have refueling times comparable to those of traditional fuels and have a longer range than battery-powered electric vehicles. The most significant competitive advantages in road transport are related to applications on fleets, freight transport and urban buses for local public transport in the first place, where the limits related to recharging times and autonomy of battery-powered vehicles are more evident. This work investigates the retrofitting from internal combustion engine to electric motor for freight transport applications considering the great potential deriving from the replacement of the propulsion system only and the advantages of hydrogen in zero-emission light commercial vehicle applications, both in environmental terms and as an enabling element for the transition. Through the analysis of a case study, a technical solution is represented and subsequently a comparative analysis based on the LCA approach.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"42 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":"121355216","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 shift to Electric Vehicles (EVs) is proceeding moderately in Europe. The main reasons that delay the electrification of transport are related with long charging times and the reduced range of EVs. For these reasons calculating energy consumption plays a key role in reducing range anxiety by providing the driver with an accurate estimate of remaining range. This paper presents a model for calculating the energy consumption of EVs on a predefined route. The developed model is a physical model based on EV dynamics and modeling that also takes into account the influence of road slope. The developed model was tested on the five most popular models in Italy.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"39 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":"128294659","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}

This change in the generation mix affects the operation of the power systems. The reduction of the synchronous generators in service, particularly during the low demand phases, makes the system inertia decrease and consequently the Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) increases. In addition, there is a reduction in the short-circuit level and the transmission grids are facing overvoltage problems in low load conditions. In this scenario, Synchronous Condensers (SCs) with flywheel can give a support for the secure and reliable operation of the power systems with high penetration of RES. The present paper deals with the specific case of the Italian Transmission Grid handled by TERNA, the Italian Transmission Operator (TSO), which is in fact a concrete example of a power system with high penetration of RES. TERNA is planned and managed a plan of installation of SCs with Flywheel for facing the issues above reported. The paper outlines the areas that are most affected by this plan, explaining the reasons and the potential benefits; besides a criterion for the optimal installation of SCs with Flywheel in the Italian transmission grid is proposed.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"53 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":"128754180","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}

Traffic lights have been instrumental in organizing and controlling the traffic by communicating with the drivers in the easiest possible way i.e. by utilizing the sense of sight. This efficiency and effectiveness using visual communication between a human and a device are not analogous to the case of communication among machines. This paper explores the digital communication between the traffic lights and the autonomous vehicles and the interaction between them in real-time based on the feedback received. A vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) network is created to exchange data regarding the position of the vehicle, the state of traffic lights, and related timers. The proposed system cuts red time or skips it entirely based on logic related to time parameters and the current position of the vehicle. Finally, an on-road experiment is performed to test the functioning and responsiveness of the system in real-time, assessing the feasibility of receiving data digitally, and visualizing it on a virtual dashboard implemented on the autonomous vehicle.","PeriodicalId":253384,"journal":{"name":"2022 AEIT International Annual Conference (AEIT)","volume":"279 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":"122259700","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}
