Abstract

In the paper, a general overview and the first results of the POSEIDON project are presented. The project aims at defining optimal control strategies of microgrids in the port area, which include the management of electric vehicles with public charging stations, energy storage systems installed on boats, flexible loads and Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The planning studies will allow evaluating, by considering the use of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and boat-to-grid (B2G) paradigms, the positive impact of both electric vehicles and boats in terms of better exploitation of RES, energy efficiency and reduction of the polluting emission.
