This book presents new and practical solutions to solve the coordination problem faced due to the increasing integration of renewable energy sources into existing electricity transmission networks it addresses how the subsequent technological revolution is not only affecting the structure of the electricity markets, but also the interactions between transmission system operators (TSO) and distribution system operators (DSO). A must-have for smart grid analysis, this book presents models and scenario buildups of complex systems and incorporates the experience of three technological pilots that are analyzing special issues connected to network monitoring and control, and participation to a would-be ancillary services market from special subjects. The reader will benefit from the experience drawn from SmartNet, a major research project encompassing 22 partners from nine EU countries and including input gathered from a significant number of industrial partners.

  Gianluigi Migliavacca

Gianluigi Migliavacca graduated in Electronic Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1991 and joined the Automation Research Center of ENEL in 1994, working on mathematical modeling and dynamic simulation of thermal power plants. In 2000 he joined CESI and then CESI Ricerca (now: RSE). He was head of the Transmission Network Planning research Group at RSE for several years and now acts as project manager of important national and international research projects.  His research interests encompass mathematical modeling of deregulated electricity markets, regulatory issues, transmission planning and smart grids.  During 2005 he was consultant at the Italian Regulator about the development of a common energy market in South-East Europe and about congestion management in Central-South Europe.  He is member of the technical committee TC 6.3. Power Plants and Power Systems of IFAC. He is also active as leader of the Focus Area on Expansion Planning and Market analysis within the Annex 6 of the IEA implementing agreement ISGAN.  Now, he acted as project coordinator of the Horizon2020 research project SmartNet (2016-2019) aimed at analysing TSO-DSO coordination for the allowing a participation of resources located in distribution networks (DSM, dispersed generation) to the market for system ancillary services (most notably: balancing).
