Hybrid Energy Hub (HEH) for microgrids, systems and components with renewables, storage, fuel cells and electric vehicles charging stations integrated in smart buildings and energy communities

Lingua Italiano

The equipment consists in a smart microgrid with multiple and hybrid energy sources, storages and loads, including electric vehicles charging stations and hydrogen, completely controlled and monitored by a supervisory control and data acquisition platform (SCADA).
The equipment consists of functional modules compacted into a portable, wheeled container.
All the modules communicate by an open protocol to the main control for management, analysis and diagnostic.

Energy Transition and Urban Planning for Local Development. A Critical Review of the Evolution of Integrated Spatial and Energy Planning

The aim of the article is to analyse the evolution of spatial and energy planning integration, seen as a mean to foster local development, from the birth of the theme to the current prospects of shared sustainability and Decentralised Energy System (DES) solutions. The paper is a review of the evolution of the spatial and energy planning integration, exploring weaknesses

How climate change affects the building energy consumptions due to cooling, heating, and electricity demands of italian residential sector

Climate change affects the buildings’ performance, significantly influencing energy consumption, as well as the indoor thermal comfort. As a consequence, the growing outdoor environmental temperatures entail a slight reduction in heating consumption and an increase in cooling consumption, with different overall effects depending on the latitudes. This document focuses attention on the Italian residential sector, considering the current and reduced meteorological data, in anticipation of future climate scenarios.

Modeling and design of a residential energy community with PV sharing

This paper investigates the feasibility of a recently proposed building energy community scheme where the energy of a single rooftop photovoltaic system is shared by costumers with a open and democratic participation. A Simulink/Matlab model is developed where we focus on the implementation and control aspects of all the relevant components, e.g., voltage source inverters for ac grid connection, dc/dc converter with maximum power point tracking strategy, inverters control for energy sharing among end-user.
