To my brother that does not make the television his guru, that does not avoid a passion, thatdoesnotpreferblackonwhiteanddotted “i”s to a whirlwind of emotions, precisely those that rescue the brilliance of one’s eyes, smiles from yawns, hearts from disappointments and sorrows. To my brother, who risks the certain for the uncertain to follow a dream, who permits himself at least once in his life, to flee from sensible advice. To my brother who does not pass the days complaining of his bad luck or of the incessant rain, who does not abandon a project before starting it, Thanks my lovely Antonello, you are my difference from the simple fact of breathing and to be alive. With love, FC Preface Sustainable Future Energy Technology and Supply Chains (Springer) Thisbookisstructuredintothreesectionswithatotalofsevenchaptersaltogether. Part 1 deals with energy investment management and decisions; Part 2 deals with socioeconomic models for energy security for space and society with a territorial perspective; Part 3 deals with resource efficiency to ensure energy availability. Part 1: Chapters 1, 2, 3 The first three chapters deal with problems of investment management under three different perspectives. “A Robust Model to Enhance Organisation Boardrooms’ Decision-Making Process Towards a Low Carbon Economy” presents a decision support model which seeks to provide stakeholders with a better understanding of how to effectively conduct energy savings investment to promote energy conser- vation and sustainability within organisation. “An Intelligent Prediction of Self- Produced Energy” gives a support to decision of cogenerated and self-produced energy,asolutionwhichallowsthereuseofheatproduced,decreasestransmission investments, reduces carbon emissions, and decreases dependency on energy resource owners. “An Analysis of Supply Chains in Renewable Energy Industries: aSurveyinItaly”isfocusedonincentivesofpublicsector.Incentiveschemeshave driven the deployment of energy produced from renewable energy sources; how- ever, when a country decides to reduce these incentives, a shock knock on effect ensues.Theaimofthischapteristoevaluatetheevolutionofthesupplychainina mature market and to analyze the issues in-depth by focusing on the Italian renewable energy industry. vii viii Preface Part 2: Chapters 4, 5 The chapters in Part 2 analyze the renewable topic under a more territorial per- spective. “Renewable Energy Sources in Minor Historical Centers. New Scenarios ofSustainableDevelopmentofTheTerritory”takesaframeofreferenceinamore limited manner, and it is focused on the historical centers. The attention placed on thehistoricvillagesstemsfromthedesiretoachieveanambitiousgoal,namelythe revival and revitalization of the territory in order to increase the overall level of quality and technological innovation, to avert the risk of depopulation and aban- donment of human settlements. Moreover, the promotion of the reuse of existing buildingsorstructurescouldavoidtheconstructionofnewbuildingcomplexesthat wouldcause,inevitably,afurtheruseoftheland.Finally,thepromotionoftheuse of energy from renewable sources would allow a significant reduction in con- sumptionlevels.“RegionalEnergyPortfolioConstruction:CaseStudiesinTurkey” isbasedonaterritorialperspectivewithawiderfocusonaTurkeyregion.Ithasthe aimofdesigninghybridenergyportfoliomodelwithminimumenvironmentalcosts and minimum emissions, while the rate of energy investment to the regional rev- enueisincreased.Theportfolioisconstructedbasedonfiveresources:solarenergy, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, and hydropower besides natural gas. Part 3: Chapters 6, 7 The last section analyzes how to program energy efficiency in an optimal way and provides two approaches. The first of “Area Based Targeting: Providing Evidence to Support Public-Private Partnership in Energy Efficiency Projects” demonstrates howaLocalAuthoritycanworktoidentifyareasmostinneedofenergyefficiency measures, working in partnership with private sector contractors. Moreover in the chapter it is defined how Local Authorities can adopt a stakeholder approach in ordertomaximizethebenefitforthelocalarea,anddevelopefficiencyandvaluefor money supply chain operation and organization. “Energy Demand Side Management in the Lack of Smart Grids” aims to minimize the negative effects on grid instability of districts caused by high power demanding industrial users, where a unique electricity-generating center supplies power. A MINLP model is proposed. This is how the users of developing countries who have no smart elec- tricitygridscanmakecontributionstoenergymanagementfollowingthedeveloped DSM programs.
