%T Integrating the electric grid and the commuter  network through a “Vehicle to Grid” concept: a Complex Networks Theory approach
%U http://eprints.imtlucca.it/2694/
%X The  new  opportunities  in  the  energy  production,  storage  and  distribution,  raise  new  systemic  challenges  in  the  coordination  and  integration  of  each  element  in  the  infras-  tructural  networks,  considering  also  the  unavoidable  environ-  mental  constraints.  In  this ’multi-network’ scenario  an  exciting  prospective is to develop the so-called vehicle-to-grid concept to  introduce a  positive  coupling between  the  electric  grid  and  the  commuter network. The present research  will use concepts and  tools borrowed from the scientific field of Complex Networks, to  understand  the  infrastructures’  interplay  in  the  perspective  of  modeling, simulating and possibly controlling the systemic risk.
