Abstract

Nowadays, many research and development projects are focused on the widespread over the territory of innovative technologies, environmentally sustainable and economically appealing, adopted to satisfy electrical and thermal needs of public and private consumers. The challenge is to seek to carry out the integration of different generation units by means of smart Energy Management Systems (EMSs) and two-way communication between producers and consumers; new and exciting opportunities are becoming available for balancing generation and demand, increasing energy efficiency and lowering electricity costs. In this paper, such issues are presented referring to the innovative research test-bed facilities owned by the University of Genova at the Savona Campus: the Smart Polygeneration Migrogrid (SPM) and the Sustainable Energy Building (SEB). Specifically, the overall control architecture and the technologies of SPM and SEB are described and some Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are proposed to assess the sustainability of the aforementioned infrastructures.
