The document discusses digitalization of energy management and decentralized energy systems. It summarizes that increasing data volume is key to optimized energy management. Two major trends aiding this are electrification and digitalization to meet societal demands around issues like climate change and affordability. Examples provided include the Triangulum project transforming Manchester into a smart quarter using latest energy technologies and microgrids like one created at the University of Genoa campus.

Microgrids

15. © Siemens plc 2015Page 15 siemens.com/energy-management
Case study: University of Genoa
| The University of Genoa and Siemens jointly
developed a smart polygeneration micro grid
for the campus of Savona.
| Officially commissioned in February 2014.
| Since then, the campus has largely generated
enough power to satisfy its own needs with the
help of several networked energy producers.
33%
Reduction in the
University of Genoa’s
energy costs

Case study: University of Genoa
| Everything is connected to the control center
on the campus, which ensures smart energy
management of the micro grid. The Siemens
micro grid management system monitors and
manages the resources.
| The next phase may include:
| Enlargement of the micro grid
| Electrification of Savona harbor
according to “green port” concept
| Installation of a widespread e-car
infrastructure
120
Tonnes of CO2 saved each year
