Design of a sustainable polygeneration microgrid for the retrofitting of an industrial site: Ansaldo Energia case study

The aim of this paper is that of proposing a methodology on how to design a microgrid for an industrial area. In particular, the paper reports the description of a project, jointly developed by the University of Genoa and Ansaldo Energia SpA, to design a polygeneration microgrid for the industrial s...
