The University of Calabria (Italy) campus consists of a variety of buildings – laboratories, classrooms, administrative offices, library and student residences. These buildings represent both electricity and thermal passive users.
Technology status quo
The campus is mainly supplied by a secondary medium voltage substation with a ring distribution grid. Several renewable energy generation plants are in operation; some buildings and plants have been equipped with monitoring and control systems (SEB).
Objectives
Increase the flexibility of buildings with storage units, IoT and PV control, as well as m-CHP plants (demand response technologies).
