THEMATIC AREAS APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES AND INTEGRATED SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY – SMART ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

WORK EXPERIENCE

  • Business Analyst SAP Functional from 20/04/2020 to 01/01/2022 – Financial Product Subledger (FPSL). I provided explanations to the customers about SAP system configuration, data transformation from input to output, and accounting aspects of the outcome. I have been involved in two different projects/customers: Generali (main project) – CODEX (Center of Delivery Excellence)
  • Accounting Assistant from 10/01/2022 to 30/11/2022 -The main activity was to provide tax and fiscal consultancy to people and firms. I also took care of the planning and new business development.
  • Marketing Assistant – Book2Wheel from 01/02/2019 to 20/05/2019: Internship

RESEARCH ACTIVITY Power-to-Gas (SUPER P2G): the study carried within the project starts with a research about the demand of hydrogen, and later it develops into costs characterization of hydrogen, emphasizing CAPEX and OPEX costs, and then computing the del Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH). In order to reach this goal, it was necessary to introduce the basic concepts on electrode reactions, which represent the key element to understand the existing mechanisms behind the various technologies currently present in the production of hydrogen by electrolysis. CAPEX costs are forecasted to be reduced in the future by increasing the size of the production, while OPEX costs ( and in particular electricity for using the electrolyser ) are mostly affected by external factors, which are often hard to forecast. In this sight results fundamental to obtain electricity at lower prices in order to match the economic feasibility of the investment. Here the formula to compute the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH):

Dove:

Pel power of the electrolyser [kW]

tyear number of working hours during the year [h/year]

 

Preliminary study for the application of technologies such as phytoremediation and agrovoltaics in the Augusta-Priolo area: the technical study of phytoremediation as a solution to the problem of polluting factors in the soil of Augusta-Priolo industrial zone and, consequently, the use of agrovoltaic for the production of electricity.

The study begins with a geological and hydrogeological picture of the territory under analysis, then analyzes the industrial picture with the polluting factors related to it.

Phytopurification consists in the reclamation of soil and contaminated water through the biological, chemical and physical activity of plants. At the same time, a study on agriculture is conducted with the aim of combining the agricultural activity of remediation of phytodepuration with the production of electricity through photovoltaic systems located in the same territory.

Activity of accounting management SYS Group: a spreadsheet has been developed with the aim of keeping track of the economic availability of the various projects of the group. 

In this way it is possible not only to have an overview of the economic-accounting situation, but to be able to use the resources before the expiration date, and also to allocate future amounts of money based on previous observations.  

The spreadsheet developed allows the end user an immediate response to the needs regarding the purchases to be made, in terms of Project, GAE, year, and expenditure chapter
