CESI’ MODEL ON ENERGY STORAGE
CESI has published a new paper in which describes a Mixed Integer Linear-constrained Programming (MILP) model to simulate battery energy storage systems behavior within the Italian ancillary services market. The main purpose of the tool is to investigate the economic viability of storage technologies in the provision of network services. Comparing the proposed model to the […]
Advisory services
Operational studies
The ongoing decarbonization of power systems is introducing new challenges in terms of managing transmission and distribution networks while guaranteeing the security and resilience of the system: the generation mix is undergoing an evolution (in some cases a revolution), with more distributed generation coming onto the system, more alternative energy storage capacity being added, and […]

Low Voltage Switchgear Assemblies and Switching Devices
For low voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies (lv panels), quality means safety. Poor quality can lead to power outages, fires or injury, so contractors need to have complete trust in the components they buy. Our testing approach and type test certificates provide the trusted evidence you need to convince your customers of the quality of […]
Type Test of Energy Meter
TYPE TEST OF ENERGY METER
In June 2020, new versions of the EN-IEC product standards for electricity meters, the EN-IEC 62052-11, EN-IEC 62053-21, -22, -23, and -24, were published. These second editions cancel and replace the first editions published in 2003, including their 2016 amendments. This edition constitutes a technical revision. In the 2020 versions, it is mentioned that the […]

Works’ supervision
Construction is the process between the design and the final product. Properly managing the construction phase enables the transformation of an idea  (the design) into a real structure. ISMES expertise in this area includes: The aim of such activities is:
Operation Optimization
Asset Management & Maintenance Optimization
Asset management is about intelligent, advanced maintenance based on IT systems, databases and network connectivity. A properly deployed asset management system will monitor the devices and components that comprise the electrical network, helping to define timely maintenance cycles and supporting operational staff involved in the day-to-day management of the power assets. With more than 10 […]
