Modeling and optimization
of the synthesis, design and operation of Energy Systems
powered by renewable and non-renewable sources
Deterministic and stochastic optimization of the design and operation
– multi-energy systems
– microgrids
– energy communities
with the aim of identifying solutions for the decarbonization of the energy sector
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems
– powered by geothermal resources also including integration of concentrating solar power
– for heat recovery from internal combustion engines and industrial processes
Brayton-Joule supercritical CO2 cycles (sCO2)
for medium-temperature heat recovery in industrial plants (glassworks)
Biomass-fired systems
– sugar and bioethanol plants
– sCO2 systems with external combustion biomass
– small ORC systems coupled with biomass boilers
Integration of concentrating solar power
– steam power plants
– combined gas-steam plants
– micro gas turbine
Combined heat and power plants
that includes thermal storage tanks
Storage systems
– TEES (Thermo-Electric Energy Storage)
– CAES (Compressed Air Energy Storage)
– LAES (Liquid Air Energy Storage)
Innovative energy systems and industrial plants
(cement factories) with internal heat recovery
Hydrogen and electricity
generation systems
