A virtual test-bed for building Model Predictive Control developments
(2019)This paper presents the result of the work performed to develop a virtual test-bed for development and testing of Model Predictive Controllers within the district cooling networks field. These controllers are used for its ... -
Automated quantification of PV hosting capacity in distribution networks under user-defined control and optimisation procedures
(2018)With the rising popularity of photovoltaic (PV) power, utility companies are experiencing a growing number of interconnection requests on their networks. Combined with power quality issues, the distribution system operator ... -
Calibration of ground surface albedo models
(2022-05-01)The emergence of bifacial photovoltaics as a serious option for large-scale power generation makes the accuracy of the in-situ estimation of ground surface albedo increasingly critical. Recent studies have evaluated the ... -
Detection and Classification of Refrigeration Units in a Commercial Environment: Comparing Neural Networks to Unsupervised Clustering
(2018)Non-intrusive load monitoring aims to estimate the power consumption of individual appliances from a single meter. Several methods have been proposed to solve this blind source separation problem, such as clustering, hidden ... -
How Building and District Algorithms Enhance Renewable Energy Integration in Energy Markets
(2019)This study shows the results of the SABINA H2020 project, which analyzes the effect of two level optimization algorithms to increase the consumption of renewable power sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. First, ... -
Improved Ramp-Rate and Self Consumption Ratio In A Renewable-Energy-Based DC Micro-Grid
(2017)Power fluctuations, especially in LV grids, are increasing due to the continuing penetration of renewable energy sources which are naturally variable and characterized by fast transients of the energy production. In order ... -
INDIGO Project: A Simulation Based Approach To Support District Cooling Design And Operation
(2019)In a district cooling system different types of cooling generation can be combined (e.g., vapour compression chillers, absorption chillers, and free cooling). Controlling such complex systems in an efficient way is ... -
IoT-Oriented Management of Distributed Energy Storage for the Primary Frequency Control
(2017)The paper describes the experimental activities developed in the IoT Lab of Politecnico di Milano, focused on the use of energy storage systems for the primary frequency control. The IoT Lab is a multi-departmental Lab ... -
Load shifting for tertiary control power provision
(2015-05)The objective of this work is load shifting of domestic appliances for tertiary reserve provision. Aggregate load curve simulators are built by modelling stochastic consumer behaviour. Analysis is then performed on the ... -
NeuroCool: an adaptive, model-predictive control algorithm for ventilation and air conditioning systems
(2016-05-22)Energy used by air conditioning and especially cooling is steadily increasing, and modernization of the technical systems is critical. The standard controllers must be replaced by novel and more efficient controllers. In ...
