Kick off meeting of the MESSI project at the Department of Energy, with five researchers involved.
The MESSI (Management Energy Systems for Smart Island) project aims to integrate and develop innovative devices and algorithms for the efficient management of energy in islands.
The project will implement an automated energy management system for microgrids capable of integrating renewable energy sources, supercaps, storage systems, electric vehicles and e-boats, charging stations and desalination units controlled in a coordinated way using ICT systems and Artificial Intelligence.
The objective is to meet the energy transition challenges and at the same time guarantee the grid reliability and energy independence of smart and green islands, with a real test bed in Ponza island.
The MESSI project represents an important step towards the integration of innovative solutions for the energy management in islands. The main objective is to promote energy efficiency through the use of cutting-edge technologies and the integration of renewable sources, and electric vehicles and boats.
Professor Sonia Leva
MESSI is funded with €276,959, of which €205,817 from the Ministry of University and Research as a “Project of significant national interest” (PRIN). In addition to our university, it sees the participation of the University of ROME “La Sapienza”, under the coordination of Professor Sonia Leva of the Department of Energy of Politecnico di Milano.
