Research
We believe that Research is the basis of innovation and development, so we decided to focus on reasearch through the strengthening of relations with research institutes and universities.
We propose us as link between laboratories and the market, proceding by:
Identification of innovative projects at an advanced state of research, which may allow the application of STAER Sistemi technology and experience in market areas not currently explored
Introduction in the company (through scholarships and internships) of new graduates in our fields of applications, to keep up to date our know-how with academic research and innovative solutions development
Innovazione - EMSS+
Tor Vergata
The product we are developping consists of hardware and related software to implement energy management capabilities. Based on the product already in the catalog (EMSS), which supports the operation and management of renewable energy plants.
The new product (EMSS +), through an hw & sw upgrade, will manage not only the production of energy, but also the monitoring of consumption and losses that occur during transportation and the effective use of energy.
The main areas of use include plants/building where energy is used (ie shopping centers, hotels, hospitals and industrial facilities, data centers,...), and produced (ie photovoltaic, solar thermal, co-generation) .
EMSS+ allows the implementation of energy saving policies, eco-friendly and cost containment management. Will be developped an interface to sensors and actuators (energy monitoring, data logging and remote control), for processing, real-time modeling and automation of air conditioners, boilers, fans, UPS, ...
In addition, there is a gateway function to ICT devices and systems for home and building automation and economic optimization by the implementation of energy demand management algorithms.
FILAS - Energy Harvesting
La Sapienza
Through the use of innovative materials it’s possible to verify structural integrity (health integrity) of critical components, such as those used in aerospace and rail.
The challenge that we want to face is to use the energy recoverable from the environment (energy harvesting) to power the sensors (temperature, presence fires, for example ...), installed on trains (even goods type), and allow the information transmission (via protocols that require low power like zigbee) to the receiver on the locomotive and from this to a mail locally and then remotely on track..
Other possible applications concern the monitoring of health conditions of older people or athletes, monitoring of suspended structures (bridges, photovoltaic and wind power, supplying sensors ...), typical building automation systems (sensors, temperature, lighting, ...) and more.
PV Algorithm
Tor Vergata
Pruduction monitoring is a core aspect of our product for PV plants management. For that , we developed a mathematical model of the different components of the system, that can evaluate the productivity expected from field sensors, performing a comparison, in real time, with the energy really sold to the network.
The precision pre-established objectives have led to a critical review of scientific literature and design systems on the market. We defined a pattern, derived from PVSyst and CEC, that introduces original features and improvements. The research group of Tor Vergata University of Rome is evaluating the system’s performance. We believe that an effective monitoring system will help maximize the environmental objective of producing electricity from renewable.
