La crescente domanda di energia e le prospettive piuttosto discutibili di nuove fonti di energia elettrica rendono oggi il problema dell'efficienza energetica molto attuali. C'è un modo principale per rendere efficiente il consumo del sistema: renderlo "Smart". Il matrimonio tra l'energia e la tecnologia intelligente crea la nascita dell'energia digitale, basata sulla tecnologia delle comunicazioni informatiche (ICT). L'adozione di tale soluzione porta a superare numerose barriere e sfide affrontate nelle industrie, nelle città e nella rete. Tra i vantaggi dell'energia digitale, possiamo citare una maggiore flessibilità di utilizzo, l'implementazione di tecniche di controllo avanzate, una maggiore integrazione, minore sensibilità ai cambiamenti di temperatura, possibilità di comunicazione remota e basse emissioni in ambiente. Questa tesi si può essere suddiviso in due parti principali: la parte teorica e la parte di analisi. Nella prima parte, la definizione di Digital Energy viene indagata con una profonda spiegazione delle sue tre caratteristiche fondamentali (smart grid, smart city e smart manufacturing), le principali sfide di ogni caratteristica e il ruolo delle tecnologie ICT nel contribuire a garantire l'intelligenza O il concetto intelligente di ciascuno per scopi di efficienza energetica. Mentre nella seconda parte sono esplorati e analizzati tre principali set di database per comprendere la principale immagine e tendenza dell'Energia Digitale in Europa.

Abstract
Constantly growing demand for energy and quite questionable prospects of new sources of electrical energy make the problem of energy efficiency very topical nowadays. There is one main way to make the consumption of the system efficient: make it “Smart”. The marriage between the energy and smart technology creates the birth of Digital Energy, based on the Information Communications Technology (ICT). The adoption of such solution lead to overcome many barriers and challenges faced in the industries, in the cities, and in the grid. Among the advantages of digital energy, we can mention greater flexibility of use, the implementation of advanced control techniques, more integration, less sensitivity to temperature changes, the possibility of remote communication, and low emissions to environment. This research paper can be divided into two main parts: the theoretical part and the analysis part. In the first part, the definition of Digital Energy is investigated with a deep explanation of its three key features (smart grid, smart city and smart manufacturing), the main challenges of each feature and the role of ICT technologies in helping to assure the intelligence or the smart concept of each one for energy efficiency purposes. While in the second part, three main set of databases are explored and analyzed in order to understand the main big picture and trend of the Digital Energy in Europe.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
