GROUP ACTIVITIES REFERENCES NEWS PRINT VIDEO CONTACTS STE Energy, a company of the Sorgent.e group, awarded at Hydrovision 2014 as the best technical article STE Energy was awarded at Hydrovision 2014 Nashville (USA), the international trade fair for the hydroelectric sector of reference for the entire American continent, for the best technical article in the "Equipment & Technology" section. The article written by Fabio Pasut - Head of I&D and Mario Arquilla - President of STE Energy and entitled " New Grid Codes for Distributed Generation: Impact on the Transient Stability of small Hydro Generators ", is the result of one of the many research activities and development carried out by STE Energy in the context of Smart Grids. The scenario described is above all that of developed countries, where the last decade has witnessed a sudden change in electricity grids, mainly due to a massive spread of small generators arbitrarily distributed throughout the territory, commonly grouped under the term DG (Distributed Generation) . This rapid evolution requires legislators and sector technicians to make an important effort to adapt the electricity infrastructures and the technical connection rules of the DG, in the stimulating journey towards Smart Grids. In this context, STE Energy works on integrating the DG into existing electricity grids, analyzing the effects of regulatory changes and proposing innovative solutions for the control of distributed generation. The article, presented to an audience of 400 people from the world hydroelectric sector and judged by a group of over 3,000 people, investigates the consequences of specific regulatory adjustments already introduced in some European countries, aimed at a better integration of distributed generation in the networks electric. From the study carried out, it emerges that situations of instability can arise for small rotating generators directly connected to medium voltage networks, which are typically of the hydroelectric type. In the near future, STE Energy will bring the fruits of its research to two international fairs, Hydro 2014 (Cernobbio (CO) Italy) where the topic addressed at Hydrovision and Vienna Hydro will be resumed and deepened (26-28 November 2014, Vienna) where one study entitled “A novel MPPT controller for Variable Speed Hydro Generators”.
