First step: CIRCULAR ECONOMY: SMART GREEN
VILLAGE in HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Vegetable Oil
Pathway
(FACEB project)
1. Oil milling
plant
2.
Trigeneration
plant
3. The first
historic
building LEEDHB
4. Mini biogas
plant for the
community
Historic building refurbishment
The first historic LEED-HB under certifation building
in the world.
Objective: LEED-HB Gold rating > 60 points
Second step: Implementation of smart grid in physical internet
IT-concept | Positioning the Physical Internet
It is the network of physical objects (devices, vehicles,
buildings and other items) that enables these objects
to collect and exchange data
Transforming the way of physical objects are moved,
stored, realized, supplied, and used
PHYSICAL INTERNET
SMART MOBILITY: Pipe§net
The first prototype
PEAD
Linear electric motor
At the beginning of 2006 a limited length prototype has been realized, with
The characteristics of the final system, where the movement of the capsule is
generated by an underlying linear synchronous motor that produces a magnetic field.
The prototype was put into operation and exhibited at the Vittoriano in Rome
during the exhibition "60 years of the Italian Republic" took place in the months
of March and April 2006, chosen as representative of Italian innovation
project related to energy and transport.
SMART MOBILITY: Pipe§net
The binomial Drones + pipenet
The binomial
Drones +
Pipenet allows
to realize, for
light ware
typically up to
5kg, rapid
transport and
delivery. For
more weights
up to 30kg or
50 kg, the
pipenet must
be up to the
final delivery
but in this
case it comes
to factories or
activities'
business.
