  • Patent number: 10511188
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an electric power distribution grid, which includes one or more first grid devices having changeable set-points. The method includes the following steps: determining a consumption target value for the electric power distribution grid, the consumption target value being determined with reference to at an end instant of an observation time window, in which consumption of the electric power distribution grid at a given observation electric node of the electric power distribution grid is observed; and executing a control procedure for controlling the set-points of the first grid devices.

  • Patent number: 10424926
    Abstract: Method for controlling an electric power distribution micro-grid, the micro-grid comprising: an electric coupling node that said micro-grid is electrically disconnectable from an electric power distribution main grid; one or more electric loads, each consuming a corresponding amount of electric power provided by the micro-grid, the electric loads including one or more disconnectable loads electrically disconnectable from the micro-grid; and at least an electric power source including one or more electric power generators.

  • Patent number: 9787095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing the load profile of a low or medium voltage electric network that is supplied by at least an electric power source. The electric network comprises one or more electric loads and one or more controllable switching devices for disconnecting/connecting said electric loads from/with said electric power source. The method comprises the step of measuring a time window from a reference instant, the step of determining at least a check instant comprised in said time window and the step of executing a load profile control procedure at said check instant. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a control system for executing the above described method.
