AI-STABLEPOWER aims at developing methodologies for the analysis of power system stability by means of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Indeed, monitoring stability is a major concern for Transmission System Operators (TSOs), as the ongoing displacement of conventional generators by renewable generation technologies has reduced system inertia, thus affecting system stability.
The project aims to research, develop and implement a highly accurate 24/7 cloud-type classification system (CTCS). This classification system uses two advanced all-sky smart cameras that capture images in both visible and infrared domains, enabling accurate sky coverage classification. Smart all-sky cameras sensors refine and improve data collections and incorporate numerous measures to ensure a consistent data flow and minimize classification errors.

Aim of the project is to carry out a comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation of the potential to upgrade the plastic sorting plants with such technologies; this will include some preliminary theoretical evaluations, some practical testing on both an experimental facility owned by Corepla and a full-scale sorting plant, an environmental, economic and social assessment, the latter related to the potential loss of work. Finally, the outcome of the work will become inputs for the eco-design of the plastic products that will allow a better sorting and handling at the plants.
The goal of this project is to develop a life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impact and costs of a hypothetical OAWE farm. Moreover, the analysis would allow one to identify inefficiencies within the actual AWE systems and understand how to improve performance and sustainability, quantifying the impacts by means of standard and customized indicators and adapting AWE to the harsh marine environment
The project focused on renewable materials originating from forestry, as they are a sustainable building solution and display a favourable market outlook. Two case studies were explored to validate the MIP: a MIP prototype for a bamboo bookcase produced by the NGO Casa Congo in Nicaragua and a web-based platform for the LSB panel industrially manufactured by BNext in Italy.
