Prevailing Stage of Development: 
Demonstration
Brief description and/or other information regarding the project: 
Objective of the project is the implementation of innovative solutions under real operating conditions aiming at optimally regulating the bi-directional energy flow on the MV distribution networks while integrating DERs and assuring high system reliability and security. Advanced regulation of input flows is provided by optimizing power exchanges between the nodes and the feeder. A broad band communication system connecting primary substation, secondary substations and DERs is implemented, alongside an innovative automation system for fault detection and isolation and a reliable protection system with anti-islanding functionalities. A multi-functional storage facility, which will be used for voltage control and power flow modulation, has been installed. The installation of an innovative electric vehicles recharging infrastructure will be carried out by the integration with the multi-functional storage and a PV power plant, enabling an optimized energy management with possibility to provide ancillary services to the distribution network. A system for DER production forecast and active and reactive power measurement exchange with the TSO system will be implemented, to improve the distribution network observability. Enel smart info® device will be also installed providing LV consumers with information on electricity consumptions, addressing more efficient energy consumption behaviours while enabling further integration of smart home appliances.
