In this work, a method based on Deep Learning algorithms is applied to assess the validity of voltage dips. The aim is to clean voltage dips statistics from voltage drops due to the measurement transformers saturation, by analyzing their waveforms. In the proposed solution, the signal processing problem addressed is transformed in an image recognition task. The algorithm adopted is based on a convolutional neural network properly trained on a set of images, extracted from the voltage waveforms monitored in the distribution network by the Italian research monitoring system, QuEEN, managed by RSE. The algorithm answer is Boolean: true or false voltage dip, tertium non datur. The obtained results are compared with those usually achieved by a different criterion, based on the detection of a second harmonic component in the measured voltages, already active in both the QuEEN and the Italian national monitoring system. The performances of the two methods in detecting real events with overlapping saturation are compared referring, in particular, to those events for which the traditional method cannot provide an answer (undefined cases). Their pros and cons are then discussed.

The Electricity Balancing Regulation defines rules for a European Electricity Balancing Market (EEBM) aimed at the exchange of manual frequency restoration reserves among the transmission system operators (TSOs). The implementation of the EEBM will enhance the national balancing markets and their traded products by introducing a common market platform and a standard balancing product with 15 minutes of energy delivery. Terna in their role will change a part of its balancing mechanism in order to fulfil the market requirements and ensure an activation of balancing bids compatible with grid security. This paper finally shows the challenges related to the Italian participation in the EEBM. In this framework, a possible dispatching methodology to ensure activations of balancing bids fulfilling grid security is evaluated from a theoretical perspective.

COVID19 Pandemic impacts have been associated with Air Quality (AQ) with its mortality index being significantly affected by high pollution levels. Significant mobility limitations have contributed to slow down the pandemic in Italy having as a side effect a definite decrease of pollution levels. Phase 2 while easing those limits still see a significant reduction of commuting and schools related car traffic emissions. High resolution AQ monitoring can now allow to obtain a picture of AQ if smart cities will be capable to reach long sought emissions goals. Furthermore, it could support the identification and forecasting of possible future local SARS-COV-2 outbursts. In this work, we present the outcomes of a high resolution AQ monitoring opportunistic campaign. These have been achieved through the deployment of field data driven calibration trough machine learning and a smartphone centered IoT infrastructure, capable to store, visualize and give exposome feedback to monitoring volunteers.

The paper presents a study of primary frequency control within the power system of Continental Europe (CE) including the dynamics of the high voltage direct current (HVDC) link between France and Great Britain (GB). The large-scale dynamic model of the CE system originally provided by ENTSO-E is extended with a more detailed representation of the whole HVDC interconnection. The dynamics of the GB synchronous area is also considered in the analysis, implementing a system equivalent suitable for primary frequency control studies. The opportunity of frequency containment reserve exchange between the two areas through the link is also investigated, considering supplementary frequency controls within the HVDC control system, namely synthetic inertia and fast frequency response. The overall system is then simulated in two different scenarios: a base case of all synchronous generation, and a reduced inertia scenario with the introduction of a given amount of non-synchronous generation share. The reference incident for the CE system of 3 GW loss is considered for the analysis. The specific effects on the frequency dynamics of the system in the different operating conditions are illustrated and discussed.

This paper presents the mathematical formulation for the modelling of Power-to-gas devices that has been included in the existing medium term Power System simulator sMTSIM. This is the first step towards the implementation of a linear mathematical model capable to describe the integrated Electricity and Gas Systems. Such kind of tools is fundamental to perform scenario analyses on the future Energy Systems: the path to a completely decarbonized world, in fact, passes through the use of low carbon syngas, produced by Power-to-gas devices. Such devices, consuming electricity to produce syngas, are also useful to reduce the impacts of a large installation of non-programmable Renewable Energy Sources on the Power System. A case study based on a 2050 scenario of the Italian Power System and characterized by a very high share of non-programmable RES generation is also presented to test the upgraded version of sMTSIM.

IEC 60870-5-104 is a widely used protocol in power telecontrol applications and, due to its relative simplicity and interoperability with legacy architectures, its usage is also considered for future control functions managing flexible energy resources. The security mechanisms of IEC 62351 standard can be applied to application and transport layers of IEC 60870-5-104 communications in order to mitigate threats to cybersecurity. In a laboratory environment a scenario has been simulated where the main functions of monitoring and control communications for flexibility management use cases have been implemented and analyzed. Key performance indicators have been identified to support the performance evaluation of the security configurations defined in IEC 62351. A methodology for measuring the indicators has been defined and implemented. Finally, the cybersecurity impact on the performance of communications as a function of the configuration parameters defined in the standard are reported and analyzed.

Harmonic modelling and experimental validation of an inverter-driven heat-pump (HP) under different power levels is considered in this paper. Preliminary results of a research activity, conducted first in New Zealand at the University of Canterbury (UC) and then in Italy at the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli”, are reported. The aim is to investigate the impact of harmonics (and in future interharmonics) on the low voltage network produced by modern HPs. The starting point was a previous study conducted at the UC, where the harmonic emissions of six commercial heat-pumps were compared by means of lab. measurements and PSCAD models. The time-domain model developed in this paper is validated by experimental measurements made in the field. Very accurate results in terms of harmonic injection were obtained, which will allow its use in more comprehensive harmonic penetration studies in the time and frequency domains.

The remarkable renewable generation capacity installed in the South of Italy can determine high loading conditions of the 400 kV-50 Hz backbones located in the area. The resultant conductors’ temperature increase accelerates components deterioration with negative effects in terms of reliability and economy of the system performance. In this paper the thermal analysis of a selected set of EHV transmission lines spanning the critical section Centre South -South is carried out both in the current and in the future energy scenario at 2040 year horizon in presence and in absence of planned developments. The conductors’ temperature is calculated via the heat balance equation and corresponding resistance and losses increases are obtained. The results highlight the benefits related to the presence of the planned reinforcements.

In the framework of energy transition, targets of power system adequacy point out the necessity of specific mechanisms for individuation and remuneration of sources of flexibility. In this outline, the Italian energy market has recently been integrated by a capacity market platform, based on reliability options for expected generation availability at peak, where the demand curve reflects target levels of loss of load expectation. In this paper, a model of Italian capacity market is introduced, whose solution process is based on sequential process of zonal equilibrium. Criticality of data collection for the determination of demand curve, possible capacity bids and zonal interactions are discussed. With the aim of investigating the impact on market solutions and on selected technologies, sensitivity analysis on different factors is carried out.
