2 Savona Campus: where? Savona Campus of the University of Genova Via Magliotto, 2 I Savona (Italy) France 1 hour 20 minutes Torino 1 hour 40 minutes Savona Campus Milano 2 hours Genova 50 minutes Savona city centre Savona 10 minutes cens@unige.it Website: Railway station Beach 10 minutes Highway exit

3 Savona Campus: growth to Sustainability The area hosted a military compound of the Italian Army International Environmental Centre CIMA Research Foundation Project Smart Polygeneration Microgrid Entry into ISCN Project Smart City Demo Campus Urban regeneration process to host University of Genoa facilities Italian Research & Innovation Cluster on Sustainable Energy Project Smart Energy Building Project Energy Efficiency Measures

4 Savona Campus: growth to Sustainability The SAVONA CAMPUS is ISCN MEMBER Founded in 2007, the ISCN is a global forum for leading universities to exchange ideas and best practices for integrating sustainability into campus operations, research and teaching ISCN AWARD 2017 The University of Genoa was one of the 5 finalists of ISCN award 2017 in Building and Innovative Infrastructure category.

5 Energia 2020 Project Energia 2020 is based on 4 main actions: Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM) Total Value: 10.7 M Intelligent & Sustainable Microgrid feeding the electrical and the thermal loads of the Campus Smart Energy Building (SEB) Intelligent & Active n-zeb interacting in real-time with the SPM Energy Management System Energy Efficiency Measures (EEM) Reduction of the Campus consumptions and the energy dispersions at the building level TO BE DONE Smart City Demo Campus (SCDC) The Campus as a test-bed of state-of-the-art technologies for the City of the Future (the Campus as an independent Energy Island with high confort level for its population)

6 Smart Polygeneration Microgrid Funded by: Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research Value of the project: 2,4 M Status: in operation since February st low voltage Smart Microgrid in Italy EEGI Label on March 2015 ( Italian award on environmental innovation on April 2015 (

7 SPM layout Electrical storages SMART ENERGY BUILDING CSPs Absorption chillers Control Room Charging Stations PV fields Gas turbines Gas boilers

8 SPM 3-level planning & control system Energy Management System (EMS) Optimization algorithm (time horizon: 24 hours, time interval: 15 min) Objectives: reduction of daily operational costs & CO 2 emissions Inputs: Cost functions Technical and environmental constraints (related to the performance of power plants) Savona Campus electrical and thermal load forecast Estimation of power production from renewable sources based on weather forecast and historical data Outputs: Optimal scheduling of the production of fossil fuel power plants (microturbines and boilers) and electrical storage systems Such scheduling minimizes daily operational costs and emissions

9 Smart Energy Building Funded by: 90% Italian Ministry for the Environment and the Protection of Land and Sea, 10% UNIGE Value of the project: 3 M Status: in operation since February 2017 Main technical peculiarity: Smart Building interacting with a Smart Microgrid as a Prosumer Surface: 1000 m 2 Energy Efficiency Class A+

10 SEB: main technical features High performance thermal insulation materials for building applications Geothermal heat pump (GHP) (45 kw th, 8 probes) Solar Thermal Collectors (STC) Controlled mechanical ventilation plant, Air Handling unit (AHU) Domestic Hot Water Heat Pump (DHWHP) Photovoltaic field (PV) (23 kw p ) Extremely low consumption led lamps Rainwater collection system Ventilated facades AHU Technological Gym SPM SEB GHP Heating Circuit electrical connections heating system pipes domestic hot water system DHWHP PV STC Thermal Storage Domestic Hot Water Production

11 SEB Geothermal Plant DHW circuit Heating circuit No. 8 Geothermal Probes (each one 120 m long)

12 The Gym as an Energy Harvesting system SEB U-Gym Elliptical machines, tapis roulant and bikes are electrically equipped in order to transform the Human Energy of people working out into Electricity for the SPM SPM

13 «SMART CITY» SEB - SPM power & communication connection Absorption Chiller National Electrical Grid Geothermal Heat Pump CSPs SB01 POI (Point Of Interconnection) Air Handling Unit PV field 2 SB05 BMS PV field EMS PV field 1 SB02 Smart Energy Building Electrical Storages Smart Polygeneration Microgrid SB03 EV Charging Station 2 SB04 Gas Turbines EV Charging Station 1 power infrastructure --- communication infrastructure SB = switchboard EMS = Energy Management System BMS = Building Management System

14 Energy Efficiency Measures Funded by: 65% Regione Liguria (North West Italian district), 35% UNIGE Value of the project: 2,3 M Status: works started in October 2016, foreseen end date June 2017 Main goal: to improve the cooling system of buildings using trigeneration (microturbines and absorption chillers) in order to increase indoor comfort; energy efficiency interventions to reduce the thermal dispersion of the buildings

15 Smart City Demo Campus Funded by: the project is at the design stage, UNIGE is looking at fundraising opportunities Value of the project: 3 M Status: to be done Main objective: to transform the Campus into a Living Lab of the City of the Future Cooperation with the Italian DSO (ENEL S.p.A.) to test the capability of the SPM and SEB infrastructures to operate disconnected from the National Grid, relying only on the supply of renewables + storage systems POI The objective is to supply SEB, in islanding mode operation, using the PV fields (its own and that of the SPM) coupled with the storage systems Experimental activity is now ongoing in order to shift the SPM + SEB infrastructures from the «grid-connected» mode of operation to the «Energy Island» one Synoptic of the developed SCADA system section for the management of «on-grid», «off-grid» transition

16 Smart City Demo Campus The action lines Smart Grids and Polygeneration Microgrids Renewables & Storages Smart Buildings Smart Public Lighting Smart Waste & Environment Health & Wellness for the Citizens Broad Band: Digital City iper-connected TO BE DONE City Security (Physical & Cyber) TO BE DONE Water & Sailing Sport Centre TO BE DONE DONE IN PROGRESS

17 Smart City Demo Campus City Security (Physical & Cyber) Technologies for citizens safety, environmental monitoring and cyber security
