            Abstract : 
The first Electric Storage System connected to the MV Italian distribution network has been activated during 2012 by Enel Distribuzione. The installation is based on a lithium-ion battery solution by Siemens AG; the rated power is 1 MVA and the energy capacity is 0.5 MWh. This paper presents the results of site acceptance tests (evaluation of the efficiency, consumption of the auxiliary services etc.) and the performances observed in the first year of operation, with a particular focus on “Black Start” application.
