It will support Borkum Island to reach its goal of a self-sufficient energy supply until 2020.\u00a0<br \/>\nNETfficient is a lighthouse project to develop the missing link for mass uptake of storage and energy management technologies.\u00a0<br \/>\nThe NETfficient objectives are key to facilitate the transition to renewable energies, by overcoming the reliance on fossil energy, reducing CO2 emissions and bringing forward the energy transition in Europe and worldwide.\u00a0<br \/>\nIt addresses the current limitations for exploitability of renewable energies as the backbone of the energy mix and develops propositions to regulating agencies and policy makers.<br \/>\nNETfficient will demonstrate how local renewable energy generation and energy storage ensure a supply independence and CO2 emission reduction in remote areas. As a pioneer for an island&#8217;s smart electric grid, NETfficient will contribute to the \u201eenergy transition&#8221; and serve as a best practice example worldwide.\u00a0<br \/>\nIn particular, the following impacts will be reached:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Storage technologies and a stable electric grid will enable the use of renewable energy sources all year round;\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Smart energy management systems will reduce operational costs, increase ef ciency and lower environmental impact;\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Development of consumer-oriented business cases will foster penetration of renewable energies into the energy supply chain;\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Best practices regarding innovative local storage technologies will encourage the adoption of the energy supply systems by other EU member states.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11489,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"gruppo":[],"class_list":["post-19611","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"title":"Energy and economic efficiency for today's smart communities through integrated multi storage technologies","acronym":"NETFFICIENT","project_uuid":"6199d350-b567-1032-95fe-0030485a3848","start_date":"01\/01\/2015","end_date":"31\/12\/2018","funder":"EU H2020","partners":"\n<table style=\"width:100%;

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 20:12:27","post_modified_gmt":"2026-04-05 18:12:27","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"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NETFFICIENT - CRS4<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crs4.it\/en\/projects\/netfficient\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NETFFICIENT - CRS4\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The project NETfficient aims to bring existing technical storage solutions to market maturity by investigating and applying them in a multitude of use cases in low and medium voltage scenarios.
