“…For instance, the electricity grid in the United States was built to distribute power from large power stations to consumers, in some cases across states. This ageing infrastructure requires major new investment to be able to connect to renewable supplies distributed across the network (Jansson and Michelfelder, 2008).…”

This series contributes to the urgent need for creativity and rigour in producing and sharing knowledge at the interface of urban communities and universities to support more sustainable, just and resilient cities. It aims to amplify community voices in scholarly publishing about the built environment, and encourages different models of authorship to reflect research and pedagogy that is co-produced with urban communities. It includes work that engages with the theory and practice of community engagement in processes and structures of city-making. The series will reflect diverse urban communities in its authorship, topics and geographical range.Engaging Communities in City-making aims to become a central hub for investigation into how disciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity can enable schools, teacher trainers and learners to address the challenges of the twenty-first century in knowledgeable and critically informed ways. A focus on social justice is a key driver. The series explores questions about the powers of knowledge, relationships between the distribution of knowledge and knowledge resources in society, and matters of social justice and democratisation. It is committed to the proposition that the answers to questions about knowledge require new thinking and innovation, that they are open questions with answers that are not already known and which are likely to entail significant social and institutional change to make the powers of knowledge and of knowing equally available to all.

“…Battaglini, Lilliestam, Haas, and Patt (2009) look at what it would take to integrate renewable generation into the European smart electrical grid and establish the challenges widespread renewable DEG would present for the current grid. Jansson and Michelfelder (2008) examine the challenges in the U.S. for integrating renewable DEG into the grid, and propose a blend of technology, policy, and utility rate programs to achieve this. Potter, Archambault, and Westrick (2009) look into the features of a smart grid where better operating decisions are made utilizing available information, and how these capabilities allow for the integration of renewable DEG resources.…”

“…In fact, for instance, solar and wind renewable energy's power scale is growing, so the knowledge of the consumption of the generated output and simultaneously ensure system's security, stability and economy are new problems for developing smart grid [3,4]. The management of operation mechanism of renewable energy sources (solar and wind) have significant role in power generation planning, specifically, including forecast of data, supporting the management associated with renewable energy such as demand, energy storage and others links [5].…”

In this paper, a model to support optimal decisions in a network of microgrids is formalized as an original discrete and centralized problem defined here as cooperative network of smart power grids problem. The control variables are the instantaneous flows of power in the network of microgrids, which can be obtained from the solution of a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) problem on a fixed time horizon. The state is represented by the energy stored in each microgrid. The goal is to minimize the variations of the energy stored in each storage device from a reference value, as well as to minimize the exchange of power between the microgrids. An application of the model is proposed taking into account wind and solar data in three sites in Liguria region (Castellari, Capo Vado and Savona). It is assumed that each microgrid is composed by a renewable hybrid energy system, a cluster of 100 households and a storage device.
