In this work, the successful application of graphene and related 2D materials in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been demonstrated by engineering the standard mesoscopic n-i-p structure. The use of 2D materials has the dual role in improving both the stability and the overall efficiency of the proposed 2D-engineered PSC structure with respect to existing devices. The easy and successfully demonstrated device scaling-up allowed the realization of efficient large area graphene/perovskite modules.

In this work the realization of an energetic hub based on a high-performances dish Stirling system, at the DEIM of the University of Palermo, is presented. The realized system is the first top rated solar thermodynamic plant directly connected to the national electric grid. The connection permits the electricity injection into the grid and allows to access to national renewable energy incentives regime. The system realization was possible thanks to an international cooperation between the University of Palermo and the private company Horizon S.r.l., official partner of Ripasso Energy AB, owner of this technology. Initial data of the plant energy production and the foreseen improvements for the hybridization of the system and its integration with an electrical and geothermal storage system are also presented.

Smart city deals with the improvement of their citizens' quality of life. Numerous ad-hoc sensors need to be deployed to know humans' activities as well as the conditions in which these actions take place. Even if these sensors are cheaper and cheaper, their installation and maintenance cost increases rapidly with their number. We propose a methodology to limit the number of sensors to deploy by using a standard clustering technique and the normalized convolution to estimate environmental information whereas sensors are actually missing. In spite of its simplicity, our methodology lets us provide accurate assesses.

Autonomous robots will soon enter our everyday life as self-driving cars. These vehicles are designed to behave according to certain sets of cooperative rules, such as traffic ones, and to respond to events that might be unpredictable in their occurrence but predictable in their nature, such as a pedestrian suddenly crossing a street, or another car losing control. As civilian autonomous cars will cross the road, racing autonomous cars are under development, which will require superior Artificial Intelligence Drivers to perform in structured but uncertain conditions. We describe some preliminary results obtained during the development of a planning and control system as key elements of an Artificial Intelligence driver for the competition scenario.

In this paper zone reactive power controller is presented. Power network is naturally divided into voltage areas which are semi-independent or, at least, have no significant impact on neighbouring areas. Natural voltage areas, zones, represent the impact range of control actions performed in a certain zone. Control actions influence is small in neighbouring zones. Each zone is characterized by the pilot node (PN) voltage value (or profile) which is maintained by coordinated action on control equipment and generators in the zone. Additional zone reactive power controller is introduced which reduces reactive power exchange with neighbouring zones if there is sufficient reactive power and voltage reserve in order to minimize losses due to reactive power flows. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the solution as well as advantages and disadvantages.

In this paper a CMOS reading circuit for memristor-based RRAM (Resistive Random Access Memory) cell is described. Simulations for one cell, 4 by 4 nMOS-accessed-array and extension to N by N nMOS-accessed-array are presented. The proposed circuit is based on CMOS inverters, which result in a simple low area architecture and in a non-destructive operation. Resistive switching memristor is used as reading reference. Simulations were performed in $0.5 mu text{m}$ and 180 nm CMOS technology and using memristor model available in bibliography.

In the last years different research studies have demonstrated that GNSS can be applied to space navigation closer than GEO orbits by exploiting main beam and side lobe signals of the different GNSS constellations. This work aims at evaluating the most significant key performance indicators, as signals availability, minimum received power and maximum outage of GNSS, and in particular Galileo, in Cislunar and Lunar space, extending the classical concept of Space Service Volume into a Cis-Lunar Service Volume. From this analysis, possible design tradeoffs will be proposed both at infrastructure and system levels.
