Abstract

Nowadays, electricity is the most widely used kind of energy, which is composed by a mix of traditional fossil sources and renewable energies. The use of renewable energies is increasingly incentivized at present, but, due to their characteristics connected for example to climatic conditions, they can be subject to temporary unavailability. Production plants, in order to function properly, and to guarantee a standard level of energy, must cope flexibly with this problem. In this article, we aim at presenting the main technologies and solutions that are connected to the considered problem, and we introduce the architecture of a flexible affiliation system that can optimize the use of electricity distribution networks efficiently, reducing energy waste.
