Thernoelectric Power Plants
Electric power consumption
peak in Italy
about 55000 MW
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

Concentrated Solar Power Plants
11
Example: Plataforma Solar de Almeria (Spain)
PSA facilities
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
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

Energy production and energy savings
12
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

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, multibusiness (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.

A complete portfolio of EVs
will be equipped with the
green-box and tested along
different parameters; among
others:
•Classical “EV” parameters
(range, time-of-recharge, etc.)
•How easy is to “connect” the
green-box
•Management of built-in and
external (green-box) user
interface
•Vehicle dynamics
