10. Prof. Gianantonio Magnani DEI 10 Thernoelectric Power Plants Example of Italian Thermoelectric Power Plant 4 *320 MWe groups Each group: 60-70 ton/h oil consumption Electric/thermal efficiency about 45% Chimney 250 metres high Electric power consumption peak in Italy about 55000 MW

11. Prof. Gianantonio Magnani DEI 11 Concentrated Solar Power Plants Example: Plataforma Solar de Almeria (Spain) PSA facilities Total CSP power online 1170 MW (year 2011) About 17000 MW under development worldwide Larger power figures are achieved by solar photovoltaics power stations and wind farms Largest concentraded solar facility: Mojave desert Rated electric power: 354 MW – 75 MW equivalent based on yearly average production (75/354=21%) About 6500 m^2 mirrors/MW

12. Prof. Gianantonio Magnani DEI 12 Energy production and energy savings DEI has a long term experience in modeling, simulation and control system design of electric power plants. Producing energy Is an hazardous activity with major impact on the environment Even renewable energy sources have non-negligible impact -> maximize efforts for energy saving

15. Prof. Gianantonio Magnani DEI 15 Design and evaluation of a ZEV sharing system in Milan The project Green Move (GM) is an ongoing project (start: March 2011 – end: March 2013) financed by the Lombardia Region (budget: about 2.5M) that aims at designing and implementing a vehicle-sharing system in Milan (and extension to the whole Lombardia Region), able to offer to the users different categories of ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicles). The system aims to be open, standardized, interoperable, modular, multi- business (a central agency will manage the coordinating system, but the single element may be owned by different public administrations or companies), in order to support the spread of the service on the territory and among new vehicle fleets owners and users. A trial will be carried out with a limited number of docking stations in a specific area of Milan. Given the multi-disciplinarity of the project and the multiplicity of the tasks to be carried out, GM involves 8 departments and research centres of Politecnico di Milano. 15
