Objective
The aim of the project is to build a tool that allows to evaluate the possibility of integration of the Renewable Energies within the existing infrastructures and energy supply systems of European Regions. Considering the large number of parameters and relations involved in the problem, the realization of an expert system is proposed.
The energy supply system of the E.U. Members States is mainly based on the electricity grid and on the distribution of fuels. Usually the production of the energy vector is decentralized: high output power plants supply the electricity to a large area and big rafineries cover the need of fuels of whole regions. A real increase of the use of renewable energies can come only from the integration in the existing energy structure. Taking decisions within this framework is extremely hard: each change on the system can produce a large number of effects (also negative) on the system itself, effects which range from technology to economy, from enviromental to social aspects. Further more generally there is not only one "best solution" but more equivalent options can be achieved. In these cases the experience of the person managing the problem has a big relevance.
Maraging 'complex problems' as the above mentioned, traditional calculation codes fall due to their closed structure that cannot allow to implement the expertise of the human beings. On the other hand,expert systems are able to reproduce the logical path follopwed by an expert person in taking decisions. The foreseen main application for this tool is its use as a Decision Support Systen (DSS) that helps the Decision Makersand Energy Planners to take decisions.
The proposed method, and the use of the DSS, may provide new opportunities to the renewable energies market, validating them with economic, enviromental and social, considerations.
