To my brother,
that does not become a slave of habit,
repeating same path every day,
that risks wearing a new color and speaks to
who you does not know.
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.

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

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-
