“…For illustrating purposes, the generic IES considered consists of an NPP (for baseload generation), two CCGT plants (for both baseload and peak regulation), a solar PV field, two WFs, a compression station (to overcome losses in the gas pipes) and a P2G station for energy storage (that can be switched off for simulating the CS layout). The system considered is plotted in Figure 2, adapting it from previous works, such as [23,24]. In particular, we assume that the IES mimics the positioning of a number of realistic plants based in central Italy between Lazio and Campania regions (Figure 3): for the NPP we assume the data of the Garigliano BWR nuclear reactor, CCGT are Napoli-levante and Teverola power plants, WF consists in fleets of Vesta V90 (2000 kW) turbines and solar PVs are fields of 1 kW PV panels with 35 • and 180 • of tilt and azimuth angles, respectively, summing up to 200 MW (Table 1), as a compromise of the results presented in [25].…”
