Abstract

The energy transition requires an increasing penetration of renewable resources, particularly at MV/LV levels. The emerging production scheme is characterized by distributed power plants, imposes a capillary control of production and consumption among the distribution network (DN). The implementation of demand-side response (DSR) campaigns is widely seen as a solution that can increase grid stability, but they require a complex and expensive monitoring infrastructure to select the optimal operating point of the production/consumption systems. This paper suggests a cheap and reliable smart monitoring device based on Raspberry Pi technology. The communication infrastructure adopted in the smart building of ASM S.p.A., the distribution system operator (DSO) of Terni city, shows the feasibility of implementing this prototype on a large scale.
