Control and Telecommunication Systems for Electricity Management in Networks for Smart Grid Services

In the thesis I show how I have developed a monitoring a control program for a Battery Energy Storage System interfaced with a smart metering system. The developed system is one of the first realized in Italy. The system has been specifically developed by integrating different communication protocols and control systems in order to analyze: 1) the real effects on the grid of BESS in terms of energy efficiency 2) the real effects on the grid of BESS in terms for auxiliary services 3) the integration of BESS with the grid I have followed these steps to address the target: 1) The bibliography research to check the state of the art for smart grid 2) The smart metering interface program and performances 3) The communication program with the BESS 4) The integration of the smart metering program with the BESS program 5) The application of different control systems to different smart grid services So new energy business services have been proposed. The contributions lie in two areas: communication protocols and new monitoring and control system for distributed generations/applications. The developed program analyzes how the BESS can be integrated in the power system and how can be managed by distributed control system that can: To offer active power services To offer energy services To offer ancillary services To reduce the final energy cost
