Elisa Marrasso

Dr. Elisa Marrasso is a Researcher at the Department of Engineering of Università del Sannio, specializing in energy systems and sustainability. Her work focuses on the thermo-economic optimization of energy conversion systems using renewable (solar, geothermal, biomass) and fossil sources, with particular emphasis on microcogeneration, hybrid polygeneration, and Positive Energy Districts.

• Key research areas: Geothermal systems, Organic Rankine Cycles, District Heating, and Expanded Total Equivalent Warming Impact (ETEWI) metrics
• Active in renewable energy community modeling, including biomass-based and photovoltaic systems
• Collaborates with Prof. Carlo Roselli and Prof. Maurizio Sasso on dynamic simulations

Scientific Contributions

Over 10 years, she has:

• Published 62+ works in leading journals like Energies and Energy Procedia
• Developed methodologies for energy poverty mitigation and environmental impact assessment
• Explored techno-economic feasibility of geothermal plants in Ischia and biomass communities in Northern Italy
