An ever-growing renewable energy production requires the prompt adaptation of the network to integrate greater power flows from all production sources, small and large, scattered across the territory.
Electricity networks must change and become active and intelligent (Smart Grids), so as to integrate two-way energy flows that differ as regards quantities, qualities, locations and programmes, also achieving their flexible management.
For the massive integration of renewable energies into the network, there must a widespread monitoring of the interested area must be diffusely monitored to ensure that energy is produced and distributed where and when it is needed.
The production of energy from renewable sources will ultimately change the traditional distribution scheme, in which the increased complexity requires new tools and technologies for the flexible integration, monitoring and management of energy flows from different locations and directions.
