Abstract
Abstract The aim of this paper regards the development of an Energy Management System (EMS) for a smart grid including water extraction from atmospheric humid air. Special attention is focused on the water demand satisfaction with different generation systems and storage technology. The main innovation of this analysis is the application of the EMS tool, usually developed for energy production machines, to optimize, in real-time mode, their integration with a water-collection system. Starting from component models development and validation, the results obtained with the EMS were successfully compared with a standard management approach showing the cost benefits and the related impact on the environmental side. Moreover, different layouts were analyzed to show the benefits due to component integration, especially for the storage systems. In details, the integration of different technologies focusing special attention of energy storage was able to produce important benefits for exploiting renewable sources. So, this approach, based on an EMS tool, was demonstrated as a promising application for energy transition process, considering the importance and flexibility of optimized air-to-water generation systems (AWGs).
