11:30 Electric mobility in the context of smart networks and buildings.

By Dr. Stefano Bracco

Abstract

The main characteristics of electric vehicles and charging infrastructures will be described with a particular attention to smart charging strategies and vehicle-to-X technologies. The impact of electric mobility on the electric power system will be investigated focusing on the interaction of charging points with renewable power plants and storage systems installed in distribution networks and prosumer buildings.

Biography

Stefano Bracco is Associate Professor of Electrical Power Systems at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture (DITEN) of the University of Genoa.
He currently teaches five courses at the University of Genoa: “Electrical installations”, “Power systems simulation and optimization”, “Power systems management”, “Critical energy infrastructures modelling and simulation”, “Energy transition and power systems management”. Since 2018, he has been teaching “Optimal design and operation of microgrids” as part of the Specialised Master in Renewable Energies organised by the École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris in Sophia Antipolis. In 2021 he was a lecturer in “Smart grids and electric mobility in power networks” at the University of León in Spain. In 2019 he was the Director of the specialization course on “Electric mobility systems for the smart city” organized by the University of Genoa in collaboration with the Italian association MOTUS-E, and in 2022 he was the director of the International Alpgrids Microgrid Summer School held as part of the European ALPGRIDS project. He has been the supervisor of four PhD students in Sciences and Technologies for Electrical Engineering and Complex Systems for Mobility at the University of Genova, one of them under a cotutelle agreement with the University of Sevilla. He has supervised/co-supervised more than 90 B.Sc. and M.Sc. engineering theses at the University of Genoa.
His main research activities include optimal design and operation of microgrids, distributed generation power plants and storage systems modelling, integration of renewable power plants in distribution networks and smart buildings, smart charging of electric vehicles, V2X technologies, analysis of the impact of electric vehicle charging infrastructures on power networks, study of energy markets and optimal design of renewable energy communities.
