The PICK-UP project aims to provide tools and solutions for energy-efficient districts that consider not only the management of energy production and storage systems, but also a modifiable and differentiated demand, with regard to the following aspects:​

• Mathematical models and control methods used.​
• Functionality and services offered.​

RESEARCH AREAS

​
Innovative tool for energy management (EMS) and decision support (DSS) open, able to manage in real time the monitoring and management of energy and environmental, through the use of innovative methodologies and cutting-edge technologies.​

Tools for energy and environmental management integrating:​

• IoT and Fog Computing sensor networks.​

• New methodologies for modeling and analyzing energy data and predictive control.​

• Innovative models for the aggregation and integration of distributed electricity generation sources and demand (Demand Response, Smart Microgrid).​

• The solutions must be flexible(to ensure a high integration of renewable sources) and modular (to ensure adaptation to different contexts and the relative resilience of the entire system). These same characteristics will allow the transition of the urban district from a mere seat of demand to be satisfied (electricity, heating, communication, transport, etc.) to an active actor able to contribute efficiently to a national energy system.​

• The concept behind the PICK-UP project was created in response to a series of concrete and interconnected requirements concerning:production and consumption, innovative and effective solutions, opening of new markets​
