3. B.B.C. Consortium overview
The B.B.C. Consortium is comprised of the following three companies:
Lugano UK LTD London, U.K. B2hub Como, Italy NCTV Cambridge, U.K.

4. Early beginnings:
Dr. Eng. Filippo Bono, Senior IEEE committee member, establishes in February 1994 an international engineering company based in Italy and Germany; from 1994 until 1997 the company consolidates 180 million Deutsch Marks of closed business, including the following projects:
an energy and safety automation project for the largest east Germany commercial center
the first ever nano-Smart Grid in the world, applied to high-level Italian civil infrastructure (the “Carlo Felice” theater, and the “Expò Columbus” pavilion, as designed by world renowned architect Renzo Piano)

5. Consolidating success through a flexible and resilient business model:
Performing in four continents for five companies, such as ABB, Interoute, Vei AREVA, VATECH, and SIEMENS, the engineering company closes over half a billion U.S. Dollars in international business projects;
to expand its core competencies, the engineering company builds a strategic alliance first with Medisky (Turbin refurbishment 14en year) than with the Italian company B2hub, an engineering firm with more than fifteen years experience in storage, PV photovoltaic and Smart Grid systems, currently responsible of engineering (for a Swiss energy and service provider) the largest photovoltaic and combined storage project in the world; the project is developed in partnership with the world renowned Japanese engineer Mr. Hisashi Tsukamoto, President and owner of the Japanese conglomerate Connexx systems

6. Consortium structuring for Smart Grid initiatives:
The Consortium is subsequently created by conjoining and B2hub, to the holding company NCTV, based in the UK.
It realizes the first Mini Grid in Europe, at the Campus of the University of Genova, Italy, in 2014; the project, a joint endeavor of the University Siemens and has one of its key initiatives the development of a Smart Polygeneration Micro grid.
Italy's first micro grid comprises three gas micro-turbines, and an absorption chiller for the simultaneous production of heating in winter and cooling power during the summer. Two pump storage/charging units, two electric vehicles, and two electric bikes are installed as well as a photovoltaic solar plant.

7. Consortium Smart Grid applications:
Many products and solutions of the Consortium already master tasks of great importance for Smart Grids. In the field of rail electrification, for example, modern converters connect public grids and railway networks transparently, and railway systems can be used as energy storage facilities
With Smart Grids, end customers become “prosumers”: they can play an active role as both power consumer and power producer, as well as controlling their power consumption in a cost-optimized and environmentally responsible manner
The Consortium supports its customers in the development of intelligent transmission and distribution grids as well as the integration of central and distributed power generation
In the field of Smart Grid technologies, Consortium customers mainly include power producers, grid operators, industrial companies, multi utilities, cities, and rail operators

8. The Consortium provides:
A complete range of products, solutions, and services for the protection, automation, planning, control, monitoring and diagnostics of grid infrastructures as well as products, turnkey solutions, and services for rail electrification
