Proposal APERTURES. PART B Priority6.1.3.1.1.2 - FP6-2005-TREN-4 p 37 of 49
· Development and experimental implementation of techniques to design and operate microgrids to achieve
maximum power, minimum loss and lowest cost (monetary and environmental).
· Research of new supervisory control techniques to allow small microgrids to operate with the power utility
so as to manage the power flows within each microgrid and with the main supply.
· In each microgrid of those identified inside the electrical grid of Favignana in WP1, in the PCC
will be tested the correct behaviour of the MSC in terms of generated power, optimal exploitment
of the RES in input, power quality and EMC issues.
· Research of autonomous control techniques to develop RES interface devices critical to the development of
stand alone power quality improvement units for stabilisation of the local grid supply

During the third stage , (M25- M36) the following tasks will be deployed :
· the verification of the correct behaviour of the MSC in terms of generated power, optimal exploitment of
the RES in input, power quality and EMC issues inside the electrical grid of Favignana.
· the testing of the whole electrical grid of Favignana, with the different MSCs connected in the
different microgrids, at a system level in terms of optimal dispatching of electric energy from both
diesel generators and RES according to the variation of load, management of energy flows inside
the grid in normal and faulty conditions.
· verification of the goodness of the telecontrol system which coordinates the behaviour of all
generators (diesel and RES) .

This work will lead to :
· Definition of criteria for the optimal integration of RES in weak electrical grids;
· Evaluation of the save of gasoline not emplyed by diesel generators thanks to the RES in
Favignana;
· Evaluation of the reduction of CO 2 emissions thanks to the RES in Favignana;
· Generalization of the obtained results in the case of bigger electrical grids.
