Strategies for Power Line Communications Smart Metering Network Deployment

Smart Grids are becoming a reality all over the world. Nowadays, the research efforts for the introduction and deployment of these grids are mainly focused on the development of the field of Smart Metering. This emerging application requires the use of technologies to access the significant number of points of supply (PoS) existing in the grid, covering the Low Voltage (LV) segment with the low...

Optimal power dispatching strategies in smart-microgrids with storage

With the development of decentralized power sources based on renewable energy, power grids need smarter operations to be run properly. This paper investigates different procedures for the optimal power dispatching of a grid-connected prosumer with an energy storage consisting in a high speed flywheel. An off-line optimal scheduling for the day ahead aims at minimizing the cost with regards to t...
