Descrizione del progetto
Sistema di gestione integrato per l’ottimizzazione dei sistemi energetici locali
La decarbonizzazione del sistema energetico dell’Unione richiede l’integrazione di un maggior numero di fonti di energia rinnovabile (FER) senza compromettere la sicurezza dell’approvvigionamento. I modelli di generazione volatili e intermittenti delle FER possono ostacolare l’equilibrio e la stabilità delle reti. Una soluzione economica per l’ottimizzazione dei sistemi energetici locali può derivare dalla combinazione di stoccaggio decentralizzato e tecnologie digitali per il coordinamento delle risorse. Il progetto MERLON, finanziato dall’UE, fornisce e dimostra un quadro modulare integrato di gestione dell’energia a livello locale per l’ottimizzazione operativa olistica dei sistemi energetici locali con quote elevate di FER volatili distribuite. Il progetto ottimizza diversi livelli riguardanti il coordinamento ottimale della generazione locale grazie alla flessibilità della domanda e dello stoccaggio, compresa la flessibilità offerta dai veicoli elettrici, dagli edifici residenziali e dai sistemi di batterie su scala di rete.
Obiettivo
The de-centralization of electricity generation requires equally de-centralized and affordable solutions to integrate more RES, increase the security of supply and decarbonize the EU energy future. The combination and unique integration of de-centralized storage with technologies for local energy system optimization, including demand response, electric vehicle charging optimization and synergies with other energy vectors at the local level, can offer a cost-efficient pathway (in comparison to high-CAPEX grid upgrade investments) for local energy systems optimization in presence of high volumes of volatile and intermittent RES, since huge amounts of currently non-utilized flexibility can be unleashed to ensure optimal congestion management and effective tackling of local instabilities and imbalances. MERLON introduces an Integrated Modular Local Energy Management Framework for the Holistic Operational Optimization of Local Energy Systems in presence of high shares of volatile distributed RES. Optimization in MERLON applies to multiple levels spanning optimal coordination of local generation, with demand and storage flexibility, as well as flexibility offered by EVs and CHP Plants to facilitate maximum RES integration, avoidance of curtailment and satisfaction of balancing/ ancillary grid needs. MERLON will enable the realization of novel business models, allowing local energy communities to introduce themselves in local flexibility markets, while paving the way for the realization of novel Microgrid-as-a-Service models, assigning to local DSOs the role of “Aggregator of Aggregators” for the provision of added value services to the overlay distribution grid. It equips local stakeholders (DSOs, energy cooperatives, prosumers) with innovative and highly effective tools for the establishment of robust business practices to exploit their microgrids and dynamic VPPs as balancing and ancillary assets toward grid stability and alleviation of network constraints.
