Application to selected transportation and electric networks in Italy

Abstract

This chapter presents the application of the SYNER-G general methodology to two regional networks in Southern Italy: the road network of Calabria and the medium-high voltage electric power network of Sicily. Modelling and analysis of a road network, already discussed in Chap. 5, is recalled and further expanded here. The corresponding portion of the object-oriented (OO) model as implemented within SYNER-G is discussed. Then, the case study is presented, in terms of the main methodological choices, system properties (topology, vulnerability) and seismic hazard. Results of the (connectivity-only) analysis are then reported. Similarly, further aspects of the power network model implemented within SYNER-G are given before introducing and discussing the Sicily case study. The analysis of the EPN is carried out in terms of power flows.
