ESS in Demo4 ESS main characteristics Battery technology: Li-ion Max power: 1 MVA Energy capacity: 1 MWh Number of cycles: 2000 Efficiency: > 80% Grid4EU Project It will be installed a storage system (1 MVA 1 MWh) in a MV/LV substation that can be connected to several feeders. The goal is to study a new centralized/decentralized solution for voltage regulation and hosting capacity rising. In particular, thank to this particular installation, it will be possible to move the storage in different feeders depending of the results of an optimization procedure (ESS optimal location). 8

ESS in HV/MV substations ESS in the POI Project ESS main characteristics Battery technology: Li-ion Max power: 2 MVA Energy capacity: 1 MWh (2), 2 MWh (1) Number of cycles: 2000 4000 Efficiency: 85% Max installation area: 200 m 2 /MWh POI Project Three ESS will be used to reduce the variability of the power flow in the parts of the network with high penetration of RES, alleviating fast power flow variations in case of wind gusts or passage of clouds. In particular, the ESS will be used to control energy exchange profiles between the HV/MV substations and the National Grid to make them more predictable (1h - 24h ahead).

ESS in MV/LV substation ESS in the Isernia Project Isernia Smart grid Integration of renewables Storage (1) Customer Engagement (demand response) (8.000) Electric Vehicles (5 Charging pole) The project born following a call of the Italian Regulator (AEEG). Inside the selected project, the Isernia project had the highest score in the innovation classification, because propose several promising solutions for a secure and reliable operation of the network and to increase the hosting capacity. The involved network is a MV busbar of the primary substation of Carpinone with 8000 LV customers, 26 MV customers (9 have renewable plants). 11
ESS in MV/LV substation ESS in the Isernia Project ESS main characteristics Battery technology: Li-ion Max power: 1 MVA Energy capacity: 500 kwh Number of cycles: 2000 Efficiency: 85% Installation area: 90 m 2 Isernia Project The local control system will use the ESS to optimize both the active and reactive power exchanges between the node and the feeder; alongside the mitigation of the PV emission and EV recharging impact on the network, a real optimization of both local and global parameters will be taken into account by the integration with the Enel s Distribution Management System. The installation of the ESS has been carried out. 12
