Electricity Sector A.Invernizzi (Italy) Future Needs for Research Infrastructures Energy
Several testing laboratories were created in the second part of the last century to support the development of electric network components (by manufacturers) and the integration into national electric systems (by utilities/companies) Examples are CESI in Italy, KEMA in The Netherlands, FGH in Germany, etc. Such labs were more components oriented (transformers, switchgears, isolators, etc). In the last years also the development of power electronic based devices (SVC, FACTS, ac/dc converters) was supported by such labs Infrastructures created and used in the past to support the development of electric power systems
Reduction of primary energy importation, reduction of dependence from fossil fuels, security of electricity supply are the main issues to be dealt with New generating plants making use of non fossil fuels (RES, H2, solid waste) and based on new energy conversion technologies are to be integrated into the electric power systems. New interface devices are also required Integration shall be at the transmission as well as at the distribution levels, just to promote the utilisation of locally available energy sources (DER) New requirements to be faced by national/European electric power systems
New concepts like Microgrids, Virtual Power Plants, Active Distribution Networks, Intelligent Grids have to be developed and applied New control/automation systems, new management procedures have to be developed and applied to run bulk as well as small size generators; the use of ICT has to be more and more extended New research system oriented infrastructures where energy conversion, electric and information & communication technologies can be developed and tested The new infrastructures shall also allow the development of the needed knowledge to be shared among all the European operators of power electric systems New requirements to be faced by national/European electric power systems (cont.)

Developing and installing new communication technologies (based on wireless or Power Line Carrier - PLC technology). The availability of appropriate and powerful communication infrastructure will allow to develop, test and demonstrate sophisticated automation to control generators and loads (DSM) in islanding or integrated operation. Developing and installing a complete H2 supply and application chain. The new infrastructure will include different H2 generation devices, storage capabilities, mini-distribution grid; the infrastructure could also integrate a distribution grid for HYTHANE (H2 – natural gas mixture).
