The growing integration needs in the electrical systems are increasingly demanding more control also on the distribution network. This can be satisfied by introducing advanced control on the small and medium distribution grid sites and, in general, introducing electronic devices for voltage and power-flow control. All these concepts are commonly summarized with the Smart Grid term and putting the emphasis on system management through the Micro Grid paradigm. In this context the distribution network of a university campus, with one connection point to the distribution network, can be an interesting test bed. In this paper the status and the evolution of the Trieste University Campus distribution network is presented, showing also the adopted technical solutions.
