RSE S.p.A. (formerly CESI RICERCA SpA, ERSE SpA) has been established at the end of 2005, with the mission to take over funded research activities of national and international interest focused on electricity and energy sector and it started operating on January 1st 2006.
RSE S.p.A. is currently owned by GSE, a publicly-owned company promoting and supporting renewable energy sources in Italy.
• ~320 researchers and technicians in 4 departments
• research on all aspects of energy sectors: security, power supply, regulation…

Active distribution networks
•Active distribution networks (ADNs) have systems in place to control a combination of distributed energy resources (DERs), defined as
generators, loads and storage. •Distribution system operators (DSOs) have the possibility of managing the electricity
flows using a flexible network topology (and DERs). •DERs take some degree of responsibility for system support, which will depend on a
suitable regulatory environment and connection agreement• Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRE) WG C6.11.
The Italian Authority set a threshold of at least 1% (5%) of hour per year where power flow inversion towards HV must occur for MV feeders to be considered as ‘active networks’
[delibera ARG/elt 39/10]
• From simple “connection” to “integration” of DG
• Develope of advanced control approach

Objectives:
• Maximise DG diffusion of renewable resources.
• Assure high quality power levels.
• Increase the stability and security of the network.
• Open market opportunities.
Two different approaches:
• diffuse control (local)• centralized control

DISCoVER
Regulation resources
• On Load Tap Changer (OLTC):– operated by DSO
• Capacitor bank– operated by DSO
• Reactive power injection/absorption by ‘controllable’ generators (subset of DERs)
• Active power modulation of “controllable” generators (subset of DERs)
• Storage: – operated by DSO (integral constraint on 24 h period)
Necessary data:- capability curves of controllable resources- costs of resources operated by the DSO- rewards of Ancillary Services (for DERs)

Optimization Procedure: DISCoVER
• The main part of the DISCoVER algorithm is represented by an optimal
power flow (OPF), that determines the admissible working point, ‘optimal’
according to the criteria defined in the objective function.
• The objective of the optimization procedure is to determine, starting from a
set of operating values, fixed for a series of time periods, an admissible
condition for a MV network in presence of DG, with the minimum
dispatching cost for the DSO.
• That OPF calculates network losses, too, which are then evaluated at the
marginal cost of energy.

Design of the cases
Different case studies are implemented changing:• Topology of the network: the counter-alimentation of some branch
are studied• Day of reference for load and generation (for example):
Winter weekday Summer Sunday
7.75 MWh
• Voltage and current constraints• Number and length of the time intervals
15
• Set of available resources: • OLTC• Set of DG and their capability limits• Storage
• Characteristic of the storage:• Position: feeders A-B-C, different node• Capability and capacity• Initial and final charge
• Cost of the resources (active and reactive power)
Case analyzed: the case analized have the following characteristic:• Normal network • Summer Sunday• 24 periods of 1 h
Baseline:• No resources available• Free voltage limit• MV bus-bar fixed to 1.035 [p.u.]
Active network:• Voltage range: 0.96-1.05 [p.u.]• OLTC• Reactive power from PV generators• Storage on feeder B
• Capability ±1MW ±1MVAr• Capacity 2 MWh• Initial and final charge: 1 MWh
• Intermediate costs for all the resources

Conclusion & Next activities
• Diffusion of Distributed Generation requires new strategies to ensure reliable and economic operations
• RSE methodologies permit to manage an Active MV network and to evaluate results of different control strategies depending on: – number, siting and sizing of controllable DERs,– cost of internal resources (storage, especially),– rewards for Ancillary services offered by controllable resources
(generators and loads).
• Implement new functionality (i.e. variable loads)
• Comparison between different approaches (centralized vs local control) and different management of the resources.
• It’s necessary to adopt standard interfaces for network description and to exchange information with DERs.
• Demo on real networks (national projects, EU project GRID4EU)
