“…The problem is all the more stringent, and the stricter the rules should be, for island systems requiring maximum reliability, such as hospitals and prisons [16,18,29]. Some preliminary management rules, which aim to limit pollution, can be found in some articles that consider environmental aspects [14,31]. Logics of technical energy sharing are also studied in the storage sector but, again, no rules are designed on who can use this energy and under what conditions [19,36].…”

An application of blockchain technology to manage electricity flows in a Microgrid (MG) is studied. The grid is considered for civil use, equipped with generation and storage systems, and interfaced with the national grid. It is composed of energy nodes such as user, generator, accumulator, and customs officer node, each characterized by its own time profile, in a limited time interval, of energy flow (consumption, generation, charge/discharge, purchase/sold). The proposed management strategy is based on the principle of free trade managed through blockchain. A simulation tool is developed to evaluate the electricity flows for different scenarios. The blockchain of energy transactions is generated by means of a dedicated software and having as reference a set of ethical/economical rules. It is demonstrated that it is possible to design energy management and exchange systems that allow in an economic way, within the delicate balance between energy availability, technology, market, safety, freedom and needs of individual users, to optimize the exchange of resources and to decrease waste. This blockchain exchange strategy can be implemented without building new plants and avoiding expensive and complex systems, by installing only bidirectional meters equipped with telecommunication, in addition to a common computer management system. The aim of this work is to demonstrate importance and technical feasibility of enforcing rules on the correct use of energy. The peer-to-peer operating mode is different from the technique currently in force in conventional energy systems, in which always a control body (energy, economic, financial) supervises and manages any transaction between users.

“…Many works have treated the subject matter but generally to support profitable trades from the point of view of optimization and profits. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize how important the policy choices and rules that are imposed on a blockchain-type market are and how important these are socially and environmentally [5,14,17].…”

The main components used for integration in the power system of distributed renewable energy sources, basically work in dc, f.i. batteries, photovoltaic systems and fuel cells. In addition, most common loads already use dc power internally, usually provided by rectifiers. Consequently, the usage of generated energy can be made more effective if directly delivered to load through a dc grid or microgrids, with improvements in efficiency, costs and reliability. The HVDCs are already widely used for their convenience over long-distance bulk power transmission. Despite this wide usage of the dc power network, the Power Quality definition and assessment in dc is still in an unstandardised situation. This paper focuses on a specific PQ phenomenon typical of dc networks: voltage ripple. Observations are made on the sources of this phenomenon and a methodology is proposed for measuring the intensity of this disturbance by introducing synthetic indices, also with reference to the most recent technical standards, with the specific scope to the compatibility level assessment. The proposed measurement techniques are applied to experimental data acquired on the power supply of a dc railway system.

“…Gensets cranking has a fundamental role in hospitals, where a failure in the power supply represents a high-risk condition, implying not only economic losses, but also the possible loss of human lives [1]. Indeed, in absence of alternative power sources [3], the UPS of the operating rooms is available for no more than one hour. Thus, it is essential that the genset starts regularly.…”
