Abstract

Energy management system (EMS) can be considered the brain of a smart Microgrid and its performance largely influences the optimal operation of the whole infrastructure. The benefits of integration of distributed energy resources such as PV systems, energy storages and gas microturbines is directly related to the way that these resources are managed and scheduled. This paper focuses on the Decentralized Energy Management System (DEMS) developed for the University of Genoa Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM), analyzing its performances and functionalities. Moreover, the assessment of forecast data as well as day-ahead scheduling results provided by DEMS is also discussed.
