The EnSiEL Section of the Bologna unit promotes and coordinates studies concerning different aspects of the production, distribution and use of electricity. In particular, the section conducts research activities in the field of insulation coordination of distribution networks, transmission stability and frequency oscillations in interconnected networks, analysis of electromagnetic transients and protection against overvoltages in medium and low voltage power lines, development of statistical and stochastic models for the management of distributed generation and storage resources, including charging units of electric vehicles with vehicle-to-grid technology (V2G), power electronic systems as grid interfaces based on power converters with high efficiency, compactness and current quality, development of power converters with silicon carbide switches, modular Multilevel Converters, converters for Wireless Power Transfer, transformerless photovoltaic converters, V2G for distributed power factor correction, stationary storage systems based on the regeneration and reuse of lithium battery discarded by electric cars.
