PrInCE Lab experimental microgrid Planning and operation issues

This paper aims at describing the experimental Microgrid (μG) built at the Politecnico di Bari within a project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. In particular, the μG will provide a test-bed for research, development and testing devices and components for smart-grid applications. Moreover, it will give the possibility to test new control strategies for the optimal management of internal resources and the connection with the distribution company, in order to ensure the proper operation and the integration with the network in compliance with current connection rules.
