Lessons learned from Milan electric power distribution networks data analysis during COVID-19 pandemic

The article analyzes the impact of changes in people’s lifestyles resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent lockdown measures on the distribution network of Milan. In particular, the study focused on variations in active power, reactive power, and information regarding faults in the network..

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive event from a health, social, and economic perspective. Additionally, energy networks have also been impacted, primarily due to changes in people’s lifestyles during the 2020 lockdown periods. Particularly during the pandemic, a significant decrease in electricity demand was observed. Lockdown measures to address the health crisis caused one of the most significant impacts on electrical networks in recent years.

 

This article presents experiences related to the distribution network of Milan, a city in northern Italy. The analysis summarizes the restrictions imposed throughout 2020, focusing on the impacts on active/reactive power flows and faults. A comparison with 2019 data was conducted to highlight the main differences observed in 2020. The outcome of the analysis serves as a valuable tool for predicting the behavior of urban distribution networks during periods of service disruption, aiding distribution system operators in preparing resilience plans for the short and long term.
