The INGRID project: Development of Smart Grids for Hydrogen Energy
No full textWith a mandate to reach 20/20/20 targets, new strategies are now focusing on the increased use of electricity to power transportation. One of the current main challenges in green-power storage and smart grids is the lack of effective solutions for accommodating the unbalance between renewable energy sources, that offer intermittent electricity supply, and a variable electricity demand. Energy management systems have to be foreseen for the near future, while they still represent a major challenge. Integrating intermittent renewable energy sources, by safe and cost-effective energy storage systems based on solid state hydrogen is today achievable thanks to recently some technology breakthroughs. Coupled with electrolyzer technology, high-capacity solid-state storage of green-hydrogen is therefore practicable to sustain integration, monitoring and control of large quantity of GWh from high capacity renewable generation in the EU. The 23.9 MLN Euros INGRID European project started in July 2012 combines solid-state high-density hydrogen storage systems with advanced ICT technologies to intelligently interconnect miscellaneous energy networks (i.e. electricity and gas), to safely transport and deliver green-hydrogen to various existing or forthcoming markets, to serve green-urban utilities. Particularly in major urban areas of the EU, capillary use of electric vehicles are being encouraged, however, as these vehicles will be powered by the grid, there is always the risk that load peaks will occur. One solution INGRID project intend to assess is an off-grid utility to store renewable electricity captured from wind sources and re-charge for full battery electric cars
Il richiamo della natura: le ordonnances vegetali di Lorenzo Nottolini nella ridefinizione romantica della città-stato lucchese
No full textTra il 1818 e il 1851, sotto la direzione artistica di Lorenzo Nottolini, il territorio lucchese diviene un laboratorio progettuale incentrato sull’idea di fusione tra città murata e campagna. Nella visione di un centro in forma di palazzo che si proietta verso un immenso giardino, sono gli ombrosi colonnati vegetali, con alberi d’alto fusto disposti come ali, a delineare un’ordonnance naturale espressione di una gestione globale e coordinata del paesaggio, imbevuta di Romanticismo e spirito politecnico.Between 1818 and 1851, under the artistic direction of Lorenzo Nottolini, the territory of Lucca became a design laboratory focused on the idea of fusion between walled city and countryside. In the vision of a centre in the form of a palace that projects itself towards an immense garden, it is the shady plant colonnades, with tall trees arranged like wings, that outline a natural ordonnance expression of a global and coordinated management of the landscape, imbued with Romanticism and polytechnic spirit
The INGRID project: Development of Solutions for Sustainable and Highly Interconnected Grids

Integrating intermittent renewable energy sources by safe and cost-effective energy storage systems is today achievable. Coupled with electrolizers, high-capacity solid-state storage of green-hydrogen is practicable to sustain integration, monitoring and control of large quantity of GWh from renewable generation. The 23.9 MLN Euros INGRID European large demonstrative project started in July 2012 combines magnesium-based material solid-state hydrogen storage systems with advanced ICT technologies to intelligently interconnect miscellaneous energy networks (i.e. electricity and gas) and safely delivering green-hydrogen to various existing or forthcoming markets. One solution INGRID project addresses is an off-grid utility to store renewable electricity captured from wind sources to refill full-battery electric cars
Analysis and Modeling of Radiated Emission from Electrical Discharges and Arc Formation
No full textWe study, from a phenomenological point of view, the radiated emission from systems interested by electrical discharges. Through an experimental analysis conducted on purposely-prepared setups, we characterize the main electrical quantities. On the basis of such results, we present a new modeling approach to simulate the electromagnetic radiation. The electromagnetic problem has been divided into two sub-problems: the first one concerning the determination of integral electrical quantities, e.g. current and voltage transients in the lumped parameter circuit, and the second one dealing with the characterization of the radiated field. An analytical technique is adopted to predict emission from the investigated setup, while the possibility to extend this modeling procedure to more complex systems is discussed.
Keywords: Electrical discharges, radiated emission, transient measurements, modeling
La ricostruzione postbellica del nucleo storico di Viareggio: tensioni e cicatrici nel tessuto urbano dal 1944 a oggi
No full textViareggio è duramente colpita dai bombardamenti dell’ultima guerra mondiale. Alla fine del conflitto la città è riconosciuta come pesantemente “sinistrata” e viene redatto un “Piano di Ricostruzione” benché limitato all’area maggiormente distrutta, ovvero il nucleo originario della città storica, ma le scelte ricostruttive si risolvono in interventi puntuali per cancellare le ferite nell’ottica di un celere rilancio del turismo. Nel ripensare l’assetto della zona, uno dei temi più dibattuti è quello relativo alla ricostruzione del palazzo Comunale.Viareggio was heavily affected by the bombings of the Second World War. At the end of the conflict, the city was recognized as severely "damaged" and a "Reconstruction Plan" was drawn up, although it was limited to the most heavily destroyed area, namely the original nucleus of the historic city. The reconstruction choices were limited to specific interventions aimed at erasing the wounds with a view to a rapid revival of tourism. One of the most debated issues in rethinking the area was the reconstruction of the Municipality
Recuerdos de Massimo.

Predoni a casa nostra e il geografo solidale: Massimo Quaini tra terra e acqua
Get PDFIn accordance with the main goals of this collection of essays in honour of Massimo Quaini, the text focuses on a peculiar character of the Ligurian geographer’s sensibility, his attention to landscape protectionresearch activity developed in the context of the humanistic geography. Starting from a personal narrative based on his own reminiscences and neglected memories, the author tries to shed light on the relationships between civil commitment and cultural reflection which characterize environmental sensitivity, bringing together his interests with Quaini’s emotional geographies. Finally, some of Quaini’s everyday practicalities are highlighted as the easiest doorway to improve the cognitive procedures of cultural geography
Is Felix Salten the author of the Mutzenbacher novel (1906)? Yes and no
No full textJosefine Mutzenbacher oder die Geschichte einer Wienerischen Dirne von ihr selbst erzählt, published in Vienna in 1906, represents one of the most fascinating cases of attribution of authorship in German literature. Although Josefine Mutzenbacher is usually attributed to Felix Salten, the author of the world-famous Bambi (1923), the novel’s authorship has never been confirmed, and many other candidates have been named as potential authors. Among them is Arthur Schnitzler, who published Reigen, a cycle of amorous adventures in Viennese society, in 1903. Some scholars, instead, have attributed the novel to such lesser-known writers as Ernst Klein and Willi Handl. The controversy surrounding the authorship of Josefine Mutzenbacher was the starting point for our stylometric analyses, and our results help to answer some unresolved questions in a debate that has lasted for more than 100 years. The analyses were performed using the R package Stylo, which enables an efficient application of Burrows’ Delta and its variants. Focusing on both the entire text and on the final pages, two different types of analysis were carried out: one combines 1200 different stylometric methods to compare the candidate authors Salten, Schnitzler, Bahr, Altenberg, Hofmannsthal, Klein and Handl; the other verifies the attribution using the ‘impostors’ method. The results show that the most probable author is Felix Salten, while none of the candidates could be identified as the author of the final pages, confirming the hypothesis that the text was left unfinished by Salten and completed by an as-yet-unidentified ghost-writer
