Achieving the EU’s climate change and energy policy objectives for 2020 will require a major transformation of the EU and national electricity infrastructure.\u00a0
\nThe need to develop energy planning systems that allow energy infrastructures to be managed in an eco-compatible and sustainable way becomes a fundamental prerogative. \u00a0
\nSARDINE responds to this need for smart grid design by aiming to create a Web-based decision-support application that, through a tool, allows to increase the effectiveness of the analysis during the design of new smart grids or retrofitting of solutions to be improved.
\nSARDINE for this purpose integrates different methodologies including: the Geographic Information System (GIS), the Multicriteria Optimization (OM) and the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
\nSpecifically, the functionalities of each methodology include:<\/p>\n
The WBDSA will be tested using as a case study different areas of the metropolitan city of Cagliari, this application approach will make clear the benefits of the Tool and the results will be used as an example in the market access phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[],"class_list":["post-16794","projects","type-projects","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"title":"SmArt gRid DecisIoN support systEm","acronym":"SARDINE","project_uuid":"18bb2f43-bfd5-11e8-ae20-506b8da9258c","start_date":"01\/12\/2018","end_date":"30\/11\/2020","funder":"POR FESR Sardegna 2014-2020 Azione 1.2.2","partners":"\n

He works for two year as a mechanical engineer for a private company, designing special valves for refinery plants. Since 1999 he works at CRS4, where he gains experience in mechanical simulation and in scientific programming on parallel machines. He is involved in several projects: the design of fission fragment space propulsion system for the Italian Space Agency, the design of several equipment of the LHC and other experiments for CERN, the simulation of elastic wave propagation in various fields, the design and simulation of a solar power system, among others. In 2008 he works at CERN as a scientific associate developing simulation software for beam dump studies. He is now working again at CRS4 in fluid dynamics, turbulent combustion and mechanical simulation and he is group leader of the Smart Energy Systems team.","post_title":"Luca Massidda","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"luca-massidda","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-04-05 19:12:27","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-05 17:12:27","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/people\/luca-massidda\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"people","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"team_members":[{"ID":10268,"post_author":"4","post_date":"2025-06-30 17:23:55","post_date_gmt":"2025-06-30 15:23:55","post_content":"Simone Manca has been with CRS4 since 2000.
