In the attempts to attain greater efficiency of mobility, based in the long-term on renewable energy sources, the efficiency of energy conversion in the vehicle remains an important issue. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell technology has the potential ...
A predictive optimal control system for micro-cogeneration in domestic applications has been developed. This system aims at integrating stochastic inhabitant behavior and meteorological conditions as well as modeling imprecisions, while defining operation s ...

The paper deals with a microgrid test facility, settled at the CESI RICERCA laboratories, equipped with various distributed energy resources (DERs) and connected to a LV network. The operation of such a microgrid is supervised by a central automatic microg ...
Power Electronics is expected to become a major component in the field of the global electric power management, as it is already today within most of electric power applications like variable speed drives or other conventional user applications. From the e ...
More “green” power provided by Distributed Generation will enter into the European electricity network in the near future. In order to control the power flow and to ensure proper and secure operation of this future grid, with an increased level of the rene ...
In the coming decades, the threat and consequences of climate change and of the reconcentration of crude oil production in the Near East will compel industrialised nations to make much more efficient use of energy. R&D that helps realise energy efficiency ...
Grid services can be composed into processes, providing a high level definition of the computations involved in terms of their data exchanges and control flow dependencies. In this paper we show how processes themselves can be efficiently published as grid ...
Hydropower plants play an important regulatory role in the large scale integration of volatile renewable energy sources into the existing power grid. This duty however requires a continuous extension of their operating range, provoking the emergence of com ...
Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. To do so, vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. However, this frequent messaging (e.g ...
