Abstract :
The paper describes some results of a preliminary analysis of a pilot project for the exploitation of energy storage devices on the distribution system. The storage has been used for load levelling and voltage support and its performances have been obtained with software simulations based on real data. Emphasis has been placed on the importance of the optimal sizing and siting of the storage device.
