“…Over the past few years, there has been an increased interest in pilot projects of the deployment of smart grids [46,54], smart meters and communication infrastructure [9,54], renewable energies [55], and alternative vehicle integration [56]. Planning for smart grids in cities is a task that must consider a large number of components in a system acting and interacting in time and space.…”

Abstract:Recent growth in the use of photovoltaic technology and a rapid reduction in its cost confirms the potential of solar power on a large scale. In this context, planning for the deployment of smart grids is among the most important challenges to support the increased penetration of solar energy in urban areas and to ensure the resilience of the electricity system. As part this effort, the present paper describes a cellular approach to a Net-Zero energy concept, based on the balance between the potential solar energy supply and the existing consumption patterns at the urban unit scale. To do that, the Geographical Urban Units Delimitation model (GUUD) has been developed and tested on a case study. By applying the GUUD model, which combines Geographic Information Systems (GIS), parametric modelling, and solar dynamic analysis, the whole area of the city was divided into urban cells, categorized as solar producers and energy consumers. The discussion around three theoretical scenarios permits us to explore how smart grids can be approached and promoted from an urban planning perspective. The paper provides insights into how urban planning can be a driver to optimize and manage energy balance across the city if the deployment of smart grids is correctly integrated in its operative process.

“…Tracking the discussions in the EU it can be concluded that the domestic CHP units, Autonomous Energy Regions and generally distributed energy systems (DES) based on renewable energy sources (RES) play a big role in energy policy and especially in the so-called energy mix not only in Poland but also in EU Countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Abstract. The paper presents the research results of the microturbines dynamics with power of a few to several hundred KW. They are combined heat and power (CHP) units (generating heat and electricity) for houses and for municipalities in the form of Autonomous Energy Regions (ARE). These are key technologies for energy sector with respect to the distributed generation and for small-scale eco-power engineering. The following examples will refer only to the several selected research projects coordinated by the IMP PAN (Institute of FluidFlow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences) in Gdansk. The paper will focus on the dynamics of rotors and bearings lubricated by means of low boiling agents, i.e., by means of turbine working medium. Analysis of hydrodynamic instability phenomena, including the development of oil whirl and oil whip has also been carried out.Key words: rotor dynamics, microurbines, distributed energy generation. Preliminary remarksThe presented in the paper examples refer to the several selected research projects coordinated by the IMP PAN (Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery of the Polish Academy of Sciences) in Gdansk. However, thy are the largest research projects in the country regarding the field of RES-based eco-power engineering.This article focuses on the results of the work related to so-called "energy-plus" technologies and small & microcombined heat and power units. These results are the effect of research conducted at the institute and in cooperation with industrial partners (mainly the Capital Group ENERGA) and more than a dozen research teams from different research centers across the country. The study focuses on the future implementation and is addressed to individual and municipal consumers.When it comes to the ongoing studies, the construction of the CHP ORC plant is planned (the blocks consisting of a boiler and a microturbine operating with a low-boiling agent using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with the electric power of several kW and tens of kW of thermal power. Within the framework of the another project it is planned to build CHP ORC units of higher power (hundreds of kW of electrical power, thermal power up to several MW).The results of these projects is thus addressed to individual customers in the form of domestic CHP units, and to the municipal customer as Municipal Energy Centers or Autonomous Energy Regions (ARE).Tracking the discussions in the EU it can be concluded that the domestic CHP units, Autonomous Energy Regions and generally distributed energy systems (DES) based on renewable energy sources (RES) play a big role in energy policy and especially in the so-called energy mix not only in Poland but also in EU Countries [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].Microturbines constitute the most important part of the small devices like DES/RES. Analysis of the work of microturbines and microbearings, their construction and operation is a challenge for many centers around the world.
