The FBS-PV concept regards the inclusion of on-board additional sensors to improve the UAVs’ flight accuracy in trajectory during PV O&M procedures without the need of external compensation from human operators. Accuracy is guaranteed by the perfect overflight of the rows of photovoltaic panels thanks to the use of image vision-based controllers. Principal Academic Tutor

DAHEC (Data Analytics for Household Energy Consumption) project aims to analyse and validate novel market opportunities through virtual pilot projects fed with synthetic but realistic disaggregated consumption data, overcoming the obstacles of real pilot projects. The synthetic data are outputs of a simulator of households’ energy consumption, ad-hoc implemented during the project. The innovative path

The exploitation of primary energy resources together with the environmental pollution impacts are linked problems which need an integrated and multidisciplinary solution process. Particular solutions have to be found in urban environment where other critical aspects are present: traffic, residential heating and cooling, etc.. The application of some technologies as cogeneration or trigeneration allow a

This project combines two major topics. The first relates to the dramatic growth of the importance of nanotechnologies in science and engineering in the last few years; the second refers to the impact of human activities on the environment, which is becoming increasingly serious, and the stemming interventions which become necessary to reduce and control
The AMuPreMo project deals with multisensor assimilation and fusion of the data observed using different sensors and carriers, including satellite-borne sensors, radar and ground-truth raingage networks with different spatial and temporal scales, resolutions and accuracy levels. The identified problems include: 1. errors of radar measurements in presence of orographic controls; 2. variability of the relationship

Energy efficiency and green buildings are an important challenge for developed countries in order to achieve the commitments of the Kyoto Protocol. In this field, the WF4E project’s aim was to identify and define solutions for energy retrofitting, environmental monitoring, as well as controls and energy savings in large and complex buildings. Moreover, the goal
