Abstract
The paper deals with the proposal of a new architecture, called Sustainable Energy Microsystem (SEM), for a smart grid project in urban context. SEM includes energy sub-systems (SS) currently independent, such as high efficiency buildings, sustainable mobility systems (Electrical Vehicles and metro transit-systems), dispersed generation from renewables and Combined Heat and Power units. The present paper includes the description of the main SEM elements and some results of an energy analysis on each subsystem, showing the effective possibilities of integration, aimed to energy saving and environmental sustainability.
