Influences of Chemical Functionalities on Crystal Structures and Electrochemical Properties of Dihydro-benzoxazine Dimer Derivatives

2021

Dihydro-1,3,2H-benzoxazine dimer derivatives or dihydro-benzoxazine dimers are a class of compounds typically prepared by ring-opening reactions between dihydro-benzoxazines and phenols. Dihydro-benzoxazine dimers act as chelating agents for several transition and rare-earth cations. To better understand the chelating properties, it is necessary to examine their structural features and electrochemical characteristics thoroughly. However, the electrochemical properties of dihydro-benzoxazine dimers have not been tremendously examined. Herein, eight derivatives of dihydro-benzoxazine dimers possessing different substituents on the benzene ring and the tertiary-amine nitrogen were synthesized …

Experimentation of sustainable energy microsystems: The DE.DU.ENER.T. research project

2015

The paper focuses on an energy sustainable prototype micro-system installed upon a roof of a building in Valderice (Italy). This micro-system has been conceived in the ENPI (European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument) cross-border cooperation Italy - Tunisia 2007–2013 DE.DU.ENER.T. (Le DEveloppement DUrable dans la production ENERgetique dans le Territoire) research project framework. The main aim of this project is the construction of a sustainable energy micro-system prototype suitable for the optimal integration and management of renewable energy resources (photovoltaic, wind and solar thermal) and to reduce the building's energy consumption. In the paper the project and the protot…

Calidad nutricional y bioaccesibilidad de derivados de frutas y vegetales al aplicar tecnologías térmicas y no térmicas (pulsos eléctricos, descargas…

2016

RESUMEN El consumo de una dieta variada y rica en frutas y hortalizas ayuda a prevenir y a tratar ciertas enfermedades crónicas. La elaboración de nuevas bebidas a base de derivados de frutas y vegetales ricas en compuestos bioactivos, puede ayudar al incremento del consumo de estos alimentos y por tanto contribuir a la prevención de diferentes problemas de salud. Por otra parte, la industria alimentaria muestra gran interés en la utilización de Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni como educolorante natural acalórico, como estrategia nutricional con el fin de disminuir la ingesta de azúcar. Además, la stevia contiene sustancias minerales, vitaminas, polifenoles y otros compuestos antioxidantes. En est…

Estudio electroquímico de bronce escultórico: diagnóstico conservativo y autentificación y datación de muestras arqueológicas

2017

El examen científico de obras de arte y materiales arqueológicos se ve dificultado por el requisito de preservar la integridad del objeto en la medida de lo posible. Por ello, es conveniente utilizar técnicas de análisis no destructivas o mínimamente destructivas. En el caso de objetos metálicos, este requisito normalmente impide la toma de muestra del sustrato metálico, por lo que es necesario llevar a cabo los análisis en sus capas de corrosión. El presente trabajo consiste en el estudio analítico de objetos escultóricos y arqueológicos compuestos de aleaciones de cobre a partir de sus capas de corrosión. El estudio se basa, fundamentalmente, en el análisis mediante voltamperometría de mi…

An overview of a novel LC resonant device able to improve Power Quality in active and passive distribution networks

2004

Nowadays power distribution systems are under a rapid evolution. The widespread penetration of distributed generation is bringing about new operating conflicts, which are adding to traditional power quality issues. The paper aims to analyse the performance of a new LC device able to improve power quality in electrical distribution systems, even in presence of distributed generation units. The different possible applications of the device are shown and the performances are proved by means of computer simulation. The first experimental results are also presented.

Transparency in transactive energy at distribution level

2017

A recent report from the German Energy Agency analyzes the possible introduction of the blockchain technology in energy transactions in power distribution. The issue deserves attention since the extensive digitalization of business models puts new challenges to utilities in the power sector. The German decision makers in the energy field claim that blockchain appears as a close perspective and, at the same time, the Gartner hypecycle puts this technology at the peak of inflated expectations in 2016. Diffuse perception however provides hints for further investigation on the topic. This paper provides insight into the problem of peer-to-peer energy exchange from a technical perspective, provi…

Distributed optimal power flow for islanded microgrids: An application to the Smart Polygeneration Microgrid of the Genoa University

2016

In this work, the application of an original distributed optimal power flow method to test a microgrid in the Savona area, Italy is proposed. The microgrid shows different types of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and is connected to the main grid through a fixed power bus. Due to the high computational speed, the applied distributed Optimal Power Flow can be performed almost in real time, i.e. every 5 minutes or less. The operating solution found for generators, simply using local information, corresponds to a suboptimal condition with reduced losses, bus voltages and line currents within constrained intervals. The distributed optimization algorithm is iterative, but also fast. It is ba…

Effect of voltage deviations on power distribution losses in presence of DG technology

2015

Integration of distributed generation (DG) units in power distribution network has become increasingly attractive multi-faceted paradigm as economic and environmental factors drive new technologies to be more efficient and less polluting than their earlier counterparts. The installation of DGs impacts critically on the planning and operating characteristics of the distribution network. Type, location, number and capacity of DG are essential factors for studying the effect of DGs on the system behavior. In this paper the effect of DG on the power losses of a distribution network is investigated for different types of DG units. Also, the impact of DG on the voltage profile is demonstrated bef…
