Who is S.V. Port Service?
S.V. Port Service is the service provider in the ports of Savona and Vado Ligure that, as concessionaire, is responsible for managing the electrical microgrids in the two ports.
Learn more about the project
Through synergistic collaboration with Saet, Renantis Solutions has designed and built a storage system within the electrical substation that powers the port of Vado Ligure (SV). The project involves the payment of a fee to S.V. Port Service for the sub-location of part of it.
In particular, Renantis Solutions was responsible for defining, implementing and managing the overall project, covering the investment, while SAET handled the design, creation and O&M of the storage system.
Following the allocation of quotas for the Terna Fast Reserve pilot project, the plant was the first in Italy to provide this service. It also participates in the UVAM pilot project.
In addition to the services provided by the TERNA pilot projects, the system operates on the market by taking advantage of remuneration opportunities. These arise from the energy and ancillary services markets thanks to the interaction between the SAET plant management system (PMS) and the higher-level control system, i.e. the EMS (Energy Management System) platform developed in-house.
This is a very important project for us, as it is an excellent example of synergy between different companies and positions us as a player for storage projects in Italian ports.

What was our involvement?
We took care of the initial investment, the final and executive design, as well as the management of authorisation and permitting procedures. In addition, we were responsible for the installation and connection to the power station, and for the commissioning, testing and start-up of the storage system. We also ensured the efficient operation of the storage, including the provision of FRU and UVAM services, participation in electricity markets, and routine and extraordinary maintenance.
Finally, through our EMS (Energy Management System), we ensure the optimal management of electrical loads during consumption.
