Dynamic thermal rating for overhead lines: Self-adaptive protection device
2013
The increase in the consumption of electricity, the stringent environmental restrictions and the need to keep costs, make ever more meaningful the need for a flexible operation of existing overhead lines. This paper studies the possibility to use a dynamic thermal rating for overhead line starting from the analysis of the mathematical model and the ability of the latter to reflect the temperature of an overhead conductor in different ambient condition; then it simulates the thermal behaviour of a conductor both in steady state and dynamic one. Finally the paper shows a method for a self-adaptive thermal protection system.
Uprating an overhead line. Italian TSO applications to increase system N-1 security
2013
This paper analyzes innovative devices to optimize the energy flows transmission on existing overhead lines. Indeed sometimes the structural asset isn’t adequate to manage energy generated by Renewable Energy Source (RES) in particular operating conditions. In addiction the outage of primary substations on the grid and the increase of consumptions have caused growing load currents. In order to satisfy these needs, TSOs have adopted new measures on existing power lines and N-1 criteria to ensures the electrical grid security. These particular devices are Dynamic Rating systems. After introducing thermal resistant conductors and Dynamic Rating (DR) solutions, paper reports two different appli…
Somministrazione e mancata valutazione dei rischi
2019
L'articolo analizza il recente indirizzo giurisprudenziale relativo alle conseguenze sanzionatorie in caso di ricorso alla somministrazione nelle unità produttive in cui non sia stato predisposto il documento di valutazione dei rischi. The current work deals with the recent jurisprudence about the remedies in case of use of temporary employment in company units lacking of health and safety risk rating document.
Banca e credito nel rapporto con le imprese: note finali.
2016
In questo capitolo vengono tracciate le conclusioni di questo percorso di ricerca. Il volume è rivolto ad un pubblico di studenti, imprenditori, manager, professionisti e personale bancario, e intende porsi come uno contributo conoscitivo utile alla comprensione delle linee evolutive dei rapporti creditizi banca-impresa, in un contesto istituzionale e competitivo caratterizzato da una crescente complessità tecnica ed operativa dell’attività creditizia, da un’incessante innovazione finanziaria, da una continua evoluzione della tecnologia informatica e telematica, e dalla complessa armonizzazione e unificazione della regolamentazione e vigilanza dell’industria bancaria europea.
Using Project Finance to Fund Long-term Investments in the Energy Industry.
2013
Project finance has emerged as a leading way to finance large projects in energy industry. The basic characteristic of project finance is that lenders loan money for the development of a project solely based on the specific project’s risks and future cash flows. This highlights a key feature of project finance due to the capacity to generate cash flows to ensure the repayment of loans and adequate returns on equity capital. A revenue stream from the project large enough is a prerequisite for project financing. The paper aims to assess the drivers of credit risk in project finance. Credit risk is one of the risks to which the project lenders are exposed. In particular, the proposed paper aim…
I processi di standardizzazione della funzione creditizia degli intermediari bancari: aspetti istituzionali, organizzativi e finanziari
2012
This paper aims to point out how standardization and financial innovation are putting under pressure the traditional economics of banking. It is argued that the progressive standardization and information technology innovation, with special reference to internal rating systems, risk management techniques, and regulatory constraints, have been leading bank lending toward new business models. The increasing role of internal ratings, credit scorings, and hard information in the banking intermediation process have enlarged the organizational and strategic differences between transaction-based banking and relationship-based banking. The structure of this paper is as follows. Section 1 outlines t…
Il rapporto banca-impresa tra transaction banking e relationship banking: la ricerca condotta nella provincia di Caltanissetta.
2016
In questo capitolo saranno esposti i principali contributi teorici ed empirici della letteratura economico-finanziaria sul relationship banking e transaction banking utili alla lettura e interpretazione dei comportamenti aziendali adottati dalle banche nell’esercizio della complessa e articolata funzione creditizia. Infatti, il vario articolarsi della soft e hard information nell’economia e gestione della banca influenza significativamente la valutazione del merito di credito dell’impresa richiedente fondi, gli approcci strategico-organizzativi alle relazioni creditizie banca-impresa e, in ultima analisi, l’efficienza ed efficacia dell’intermediazione creditizia bancaria.
Prioritisation of alternatives with analytical hierarchy process plus response latency and web surveys
2014
This paper introduces a new method that combines the well-known analytical hierarchy process (AHP) with a response latency metric. The response latency is the time taken by respondents to make choices over pairwise comparisons. The analytical calculation of relative importance weights of the alternatives is made by using a response latency model previously validated in several case studies. This combination aims to overcome some drawbacks of the traditional AHP related to the use of a rating scale (the so-called Saaty scale), and it is a natural way to involve response latency in established decisionmaking methods. This new method can be profitably adopted in web surveys where it is easy to…
Spanish validation of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test.
2018
Background and aims Sexual addiction is a pathological behavior characterized by a combination of excessive sexual desire and impaired ability to control it. Its incidence ranges between 1.2% and 32.2%, although this number may vary depending on the screening tool used. This wide variability is largely due to the use of non-validated instruments (e.g., structural validity relying on exploratory analyses, instruments translated without an additional validation process, or instruments validated in another format). To deal with these limitations, this study tested the psychometric properties of the Spanish paper-and-pencil and online versions of the Sexual Addiction Screening Test (SAST). Met…
