The project is fucused on the synthesis of a demand side-Energy Management System (EMS) of a grid connected-residential nanogrid for the application of real-time demand response services.
The EMS is in charge to schedule in real time the energy flows of a home or apartement considering a local prosumer, namely a user equipped with a local generation from renewable energy sources.
The EMS decision-making criterion must be interpretable, i.e. comparable to a gray/white box model. For this reason, a rule-based fuzzy inference system is going to be adopted as decision-making system and compared with more conventional EMS models such as Adaptive Control Systems or Rolling Time Horizon EMSs.
The nanogrid other than being connected to the grid, must manage and control the connection with conventional load devices (not controllable and not interruptible), shiftable loads (e.g. dishwasher, washing machine), an energy storage unit and the electric vehicle smart charging system.
The project proposed wants to continue the research started during my PhD and continued with my first postdoc. In the postdoc I personally coordinated and designed the EMS of a POR project regarding a modular multi-purpose nanogrid with successful results [1]. Regarding my research activity, three papers have been published on important journals in the last year, moreover a software about a generalized is free downloadable on Gitlab [2].
With this postdoc I would be able to continue the partnership between POMOS-DIET and Braga Moro on smart grid systems development, continue my teaching activity integrated with seminaries and therefore I'll be available to support student's exams and thesis, minor research and communications activities in collaboration with Prof. Antonello Rizzi, Prof. Fabio Massimo Frattale Mascioli and their students and collaborators which I worked with in the last years.
