Certifying Bodies work in a consolidated way and are acknowledged by national and international reference organizations. The arrival of new products in the market, in particular those for which wide diffusion and usability by the public is […]
A 3D computer model has been developed for predicting magnetic fields in order to comply with legislation concerning safety and environment issues. The developed software, named “EMF-CS”, allows the user to predict and simulate magnetic fields generated by electrical MV/LV substations whose magnetic field emission has to be evaluated inside the plant as well as […]
Stimulated by the ambitious decarbonisation targets, European countries have experienced a tremendous growth in distributed generation from Variable Renewable Energies (VRE). To face these new challenges an overall re-designing of the power system is required which would involve more flexible market schemes, adequate cross-border interconnections as well as smarter and even more integrated grids. On […]
The essential characteristics and the steps followed in the realization process of the new ±500 kV 1000MW HVDC link Sardinia Island – Italian Peninsula (SAPEI), whose completion was achieved at theend of 2010, are presented in this paper. Notwithstanding the growing application of HVDC links around the world and the acquiredexperience in the area of […]
This study is a regional assessment of the results achieved by the installation of AMIS® abatement systems on geothermal power plants in reducing the potential impact associated with emissions of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and mercury (Hg) in the Larderello-Travale-Radicondoli Geothermal Area (Tuscany). The AMIS® abatement system has “rated values” of efficiency up to 90% for […]
The transparency needs and the market opportunities arising from the liberalization of theenergy sector often require Transmission System Operators to review some establishedpractices, by means of which quality, safety and efficiency of the power system operationhave been assured for years. This article describes a solution for the very short term optimaldispatching (also named “Advance Dispatching” […]
