Paglia-Orba-Focus on Innovative CSP System Integrated in Highly Flexible Technological Smart Grid

The aim of Paglia-Orba is to test and characterize components of solar smart-grid representative of a village, a neighborhood on three levels of qualification: unit Testing of the components, functional and dynamic tests of smart microgrid, and functional testing of the micro-network energy management. It's a technology support enabling industrial design, development, testing and qualifying all types of components of Smart Grid: production units, storage capacities, balancing protocols-Islanding mode and grid connected mode. Paglia-Orba integrate 118,7 kW p of various technologies solar PV plant (p-Si, c-Si, CIS, Concentrated PV), 202,8 kW - 301 kWh of storage capacities with different technologies as lead-acid, ion-Li, Redox batteries, flywheel, hydro-pumped, hydrogen hydrure storage. For the load, micro grid is connected to powering offices, household and electrical vehicles. Through this platform we combine renewable energy, electricity sources and electricity storage means. The paper focuses on one of existing system CSP-SRLO.
