The laboratory offers a solution to optimize flux-weakening control strategies for internal permanent-magnet synchronous machines, also used for light electric vehicles (e.g. motorcycles).
This activity focused on torque management during fast...
The laboratory has developed a set of IT tools to support public administrations in the implementation of energy refurbishment of school buildings to the status of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).
The "TEESCHOOLS" toolkit is designed to be simple...
The product allows to carry out an energy performance assessment in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Following a preliminary data collection and related statistical processing, specific energy performance indicators are introduced in...
Patented system for intelligent management and automated control of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The system uses robust and cheap probes to measure indirect signals, such as pH and redox potential (ORP), in order to reduce the construction...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology that assesses a set of interactions a product or service has with the environment, considering its entire life cycle including the stages of preproduction (therefore also materials extraction and...
Scientific diagnostics is an important tool to improve the interpretation and knowledge of a work of art, allowing its evolution over time to be documented and monitored and any restoration work to be scheduled. It is obviously important in this...
TekneHub - Laboratory of the Ferrara Tecnopolo, in collaboration with the company Techsigno S.r.l., has tested and assessed the application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to naturalistic collections. To date, the RFID technology...
The main objective of TECNOLATER was setting up a pilot laboratory at Sacmi's facilities, for the study and the development of flexible technologies to produce new construction materials. A research structure was set up to study innovative brick...
The electrochemical approach to water purification is based on the application of an electrical current, therefore the process is remotely controllable and neither personnel intervention nor the use of chemicals are required. The current disinfection...
Among the various technological units the building system consists of, the roof features shows the greatest complexity: it is the part most exposed to weather aggression and where a number or functions or terminations may converge. Research...
The application of the Life Cycle Analysis methodology (LCA) to Italian livestock sectors, enables analyzing the potential environmental impacts arising from farm production systems. The Life Cycle Assessment method has been standardised by ISO...
