Abstract (EN): Electrification of society and economy is crucial to fight against climate changes assuming simultaneously a large-scale integration of electricity generation exploiting Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The increasing presence of RES and Electric Vehicles (EV) in Low Voltage (LV) networks, and the emergence of the Smart Grid paradigm will require relevant changes in the operational management of both LV and Medium Voltage (MV) networks. In this paper, two different strategies (separated and coordinated management) for the operational management of MV and LV networks are compared regarding their ability to integrate large amounts of RES and to accept increased electrification of consumption, including EV. Each management strategy is modeled through optimization problems, being then applied to an electrical distribution system consisting of MV and LV networks. Results show that a coordinated operational management outperforms the separated strategy, by allowing the integration of much higher volumes of RES and EV.
