Barbara Bonvini

Barbara Bonvini serves as a Contract Professor in the Department of Naval, Electrical, Electronic, and Telecommunications Engineering (DITEN) at the University of Genoa. Her academic role combines research and instruction within electrical engineering with specialized focus on sustainable energy infrastructure.

Her research expertise spans Power Systems, Renewable Energy, Microgrids, Energy Management Systems, Smart Grids, and Sustainable Energy. She investigates polygeneration microgrid architectures, active/reactive power optimization, and municipal-scale renewable energy community frameworks with particular attention to Italian regulatory contexts and positive energy district implementation.

Analysis of her 2021-2024 publications reveals consistent methodological emphasis on energy management system (EMS) development for integrated microgrids, optimal design modeling of public-private renewable energy communities, and performance indicator frameworks for sustainable technology adoption. Her work demonstrates strong practical application in Italian municipal energy planning with recurring themes of polygeneration systems and positive energy districts.
