The estimation of the lightning performance of a power distribution network is of great importance to design its protection system against lightning. An accurate evaluation of the number of lightning events that can create dangerous overvoltages requires a huge computational effort, as it implies the adoption of a Monte Carlo procedure. Such a...

The problem with evaluating the investment in a multi-site photovoltaic plant, such as that proposed in this paper (which can be viewed as a profitability analysis), is that it requires the development of an innovative methodological approach. By setting an upper limit of capital to invest, among sites with different Direct Normal Irradiations...

The study presented derives from the request of the management of an Italian important pediatric hospital to reorganize the patient acceptance service. The authors to address the analysis had built a stochastic discrete event simulation model through which it was possible to study the behavior of the system under consideration in the different...

The paper deals with a LV grid-connected microgrid located in the Savona Campus of Genoa University and called Smart Polygeneration Microgrid (SPM). Such microgrid is designed to produce electric and thermal energy by means of renewable generation units, co-generative gas turbines, a storage unit and electric vehicle charging stations. The work...
