Energia 2020 is based on 4 main actions: Total Value: 10.7 M€ “Intelligent” & Sustainable Microgrid feeding the electrical and the √ Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM) thermal loads of the Campus
“Intelligent” & Active n-ZEB interacting in real-time with the SPM √ Smart Energy Building (SEB) Energy Management System
Reduction of the Campus consumptions and the energy dispersions at √ Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) the building level
TO BE Smart City Demo Campus (SCDC) The Campus as a “test-bed” of state-of-the-art technologies for the DONE City of the Future (the Campus as an independent “Energy Island” with high confort level for its population) Smart Polygeneration Microgrid
• Funded by: Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research
• Value of the project: 2,4 M€
• Status: in operation since February 2014
• 1st low voltage Smart Microgrid in Italy • EEGI Label on March 2015 (www.gridplus.eu/node/172)

Energy Management System (EMS) Optimization algorithm (time horizon: 24 hours, time interval: 15 min) – Objectives: reduction of daily operational costs & CO2 emissions Inputs: • Cost functions • Technical and environmental constraints (related to the performance of power plants) • Savona Campus electrical and thermal load forecast • Estimation of power production from renewable sources based on weather forecast and historical data Outputs: • Optimal scheduling of the production of fossil fuel power plants (microturbines and boilers) and electrical storage systems • Such scheduling minimizes daily operational costs and emissions
Smart Energy Building
• Funded by: 90% Italian Ministry for the Environment and the Protection of Land and Sea, 10% UNIGE • Value of the project: 3 M€ • Status: in operation since February 2017 • Main technical peculiarity: Smart Building interacting with a Smart Microgrid as a Prosumer Energy • Surface: 1000 m2 Efficiency Class A+
SEB: main technical features • High performance thermal insulation materials for building applications
• Geothermal heat pump (GHP) (45 kWth, 8 probes) • Solar Thermal Collectors (STC)
• Controlled mechanical ventilation plant, Air Handling unit (AHU)
• Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump (DHWHP)
• Photovoltaic field (PV) (23 kWp) • Extremely low consumption led lamps

• Funded by: 65% Regione Liguria (North West Italian district), 35% UNIGE
• Value of the project: 2,3 M€
• Status: works started in October 2016, foreseen end date June 2017
• Main goal: to improve the cooling system of buildings using trigeneration (microturbines and absorption chillers) in order to increase indoor comfort; energy efficiency interventions to reduce the thermal dispersion of the buildings
Smart City Demo Campus • Funded by: the project is at the design stage, UNIGE is looking at fundraising opportunities • Value of the project: 3 M€ • Status: to be done • Main objective: to transform the Campus into a Living Lab of the City of the Future • Cooperation with the Italian DSO (ENEL S.p.A.) to test the capability of the SPM and SEB infrastructures to operate disconnected from the National Grid, relying only on the supply of renewables + storage systems
The objective is to supply SEB, in islanding mode operation, using the PV fields (its own and that of the SPM) coupled with the storage systems POI
Experimental activity is now ongoing in order to shift the SPM + SEB infrastructures from the «grid-connected» mode of operation to the «Energy Island» one
