“…Researchers can focus on intelligent grid analysis and evaluate smart grids operational and environmental performance using simulation tools. Balancing energy demand and supply in the smart grid is a complex task [73]. Furthermore, more research in the initial step should have high data quality to perform a successful analysis.…”

The present paper deals with an infrastructure digitization policy to optimize maintenance processes and energy efficiency to transform port areas to ZED (Zero Energy District). The Lazio Region started the process for all its ports in 2020. The Anzio port started and developed as a pilot project as it is a particularly representative sample for the Mediterranean Sea reality due to its geomorphological conformation. The study aimed to develop energy-saving procedures and strategies and integrate production systems from Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) for sustainable mobility. In the article, these strategies are described in detail and energy analysis is carried out, starting from the current state and demonstrating the potential energy self-sufficiency of the infrastructure. Finally, the investigation’s potential utilizing a Digital Twin (DT) of the area is highlighted. Furthermore, the BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information System) combining possibility to maximize the energy efficiency measures beneficial impact are discussed.

“…However, service provisioning features for extremely maneuverable environments, like those discovered in seaport container terminals, could only be used successfully if they were built with strong architectures that can keep working well even in hostile environments [139]. Also, the fact that logistics operations in seaports were so complicated showed how important it is to have an infrastructure that makes communication reliable and easy [140] [141]. Satyavathi et al [142] proposed a wireless communication model to ensure data security and save energy.…”

Seaports have a very important role in connecting freight by sea. Goods transported through seaports in the world are increasing day by day to meet human needs. This increases the pressure to apply more technologies for better port management. The world's seaports in the 4th generation, the generation in which seaports enhance connectivity to form a large network, have shown high efficiency when applying technology to port management. This optimizes port operations and connects port information into a network that improves productivity and reduces loading and unloading times. Today, the Internet of Things is the foundation for technologies to manage and optimize operations in various fields. It is considered by scientists to be a highly influential technology in the “4.0” era. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology directly affects the activities and processes of loading and unloading goods at seaports. Modern IoT-based port management technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) are contributing to the increased speed and safe movement of goods through seaports. The application of IoT in port management has become an inevitable trend and will be presented in this article. In the next generation, seaports tend to develop into smart ports based on rapidly developing technology platforms such as IoT, blockchain, and cloud computing. Smart port development also poses many issues to be resolved, including environmental issues. In this paper, the authors present some solutions to develop smart ports in an environmentally friendly manner.

“…The Digital twin will be completed at the end of 2021 but the structural and technical plant [8] model has already been digitalized in BIM. This model was then imported into a GIS environment using Naviswork software [9] and studied to assess the impact on vehicular traffic (critical in the section adjacent to the Roman port) of the construction of a parking area to be used at the moment of ferry embarkation/disembarkation.…”

The digital twin has been used for decades in industries and in this last twenty years in the construction industry as a model that creates a connection between the physical systems and the digital systems. Thanks to IoT and AI, a static model evolves as a constantly updated system that is in connection with the real environment, thanks to data provided by sensors placed in it. In this paper the possibility of applying this system to complex infrastructures, such as port areas, is analysed. It has been chosen to apply it to a compact port area in order to be able to use this system, to investigate the different possibilities that it offers and to then be able to use it for larger port areas. The case study is located in the Ventotene Island, a small island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea, in front of the coast of central Italy, which is characterized by a considerable number of visitors during the summer season and a significantly reduced attendance during the rest of the year. It has been created an as-built digital model developed in BIM environment. It contains the architectural, structural and MEP models, both of port area and the building which is used for different services. Studies and simulations were carried out using the model, integrated with monitoring system to increase the security of the area. Finally, the model was connected to sensors installed in the real environment, obtaining the digital twin. Using this system, it is possible to achieve the control of facility management interventions, towards predictive maintenance, but also the control of the security and energy management, in order to verify the efficiency and the profitability of the operations and of the whole infrastructure.
