Lab full name

Laboratory for wave energy conversion devices and Wells turbines

ERC 2nd Level Code

PE8 Products and Processes Engineering

PE1 Mathematics

ERC 3rd level Code

PE8_5 Fluid mechanics, hydraulic-, turbo-, and piston engines

PE8_6 Energy processes engineering

Research Activities

This laboratory is devoted to the performance analysis of Wells turbines to be included in systems
OWC systems (Oscillating Water Column) for wave energy harvesting.
For these studies a test bench (specifically designed), is used, which reproduces the conditions of
the air flow generated by the wave motion. The entire system is remotely controlled via software,
determining the operating conditions.
The test rig consists of: a suction centrifugal fan controlled by a Variable-Frequency Drive
(VFD); a straight pipe where a diaphragm is housed for flow measurement; a plenum chamber; a
second straight duct in which is located the AC Brushless Servo Systems connected to the torque
transducer (for torque measurement) and to the Wells turbine.

Research Activities

Math-Lab is a laboratory dedicated to didactics, students' guidance, research and experimentation.
In particular, activities in the field of didactics and experimentation are developed in collaboration with the world of secondary school by promoting students' orientation, teachers' formation and experimentation of nontraditional forms of teaching.
In the spirit of "alternanza scuola lavoro" (work-linked training) which is one of the most relevant innovations of the Italian educational system (law 107/2015 the Good School "La buona scuola"), and in line with the open school principles, students of secondary school can attend didactical modules in theMath-Lab laboratory.
Students, thanks to an interactive board, will be allowed to use manipulative software such as geogebra in a more attractive way, they will be supported on Opedia platform (on-line learning) and by Teachnet didactical LAN, and will be led to reinforce their 3D visualization by digitalizing, manipulating and printing 3D objects.
Summer courses are being organized in order to promote Science, Technology, Engeneering and Matemathics (STEM learning) with respect also to the parity of genders.
The laboratory is used in the validation processes, i.e. in the proof of convergence of numerical schemes, of the various models developed in the research activities.
The main applied research is the development of robust numerical methods, which are able to simulate traffic on road networks, salt fingering phenomena, and the dynamical (discontinuous) behavior of thin elastic 1D and 2D bodies with an adhesive interaction with the environment.

The scientific director has been:

Research Activities

The Decision and Control Laboratory (D&C Lab) is dedicated to advancing both theoretical and applied research in systems, control, optimization, and decision-making. Its mission is to contribute to scientific progress and technological innovation by engaging with public institutions and private enterprises at the regional, national, and international levels.

The D&C Lab’s work aligns with the disciplinary sector “Systems and Control Engineering” (09/G1), with a particular emphasis on fostering technology transfer and the dissemination of research outcomes across academic and industrial domains.

The laboratory is based on the university campus in Bari and operates within a multidisciplinary framework. Research and experimental activities are organized across the following main thematic areas:

1. Management and Control of Complex Systems

Development of advanced algorithms and ICT solutions for proactive decision-making in domains such as energy, transport, production, and healthcare
Decentralized and distributed control methods for large-scale interconnected systems
Optimization and supervisory control of complex processes and infrastructures
Decision support systems for intelligent transportation, multimodal logistics, and hazardous freight operations
Control strategies for smart mobility and the management of smart environments
Frameworks for the design and governance of smart grids, smart cities, and smart communities
Strategies for sustainable, intermodal, and co-modal mobility
ICT-based solutions for logistics, production, and health service management
Modeling, simulation, and control of discrete event systems
Nonlinear system modeling and control

2. Modeling, Control, and Optimization in Industrial Contexts

Methodologies supporting Industry 4.0 paradigms
Re-engineering and automation of industrial processes
Coordination strategies for multi-agent systems and sensor networks
Fault detection, isolation, and recovery mechanisms
Optimization of logistics, production, and distribution chains
Scheduling, workflow management, and decision support in manufacturing systems
Model-based techniques to enhance technological product/process efficiency
Decision-making under uncertainty and large-choice scenarios
Management of procurement and supply networks
Integration of best practices in advanced manufacturing

3. Management, Control, and Optimization of Energy Systems
