Fabio Tossani was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1988. He received the B.S. (Hons.), M.S. (Hons.) and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 2010, 2012 and 2016 respectively.
He is currently working within the Power Systems group of the University of Bologna.
Research Activity
His research interests are power system transients, with particular reference to lightning electromagnetic pulse interaction with electrical networks and power systems protection.
His research focuses also on the integration of renewables in power distribution networks, on the development of models for the transient analysis of micro grids with generation, storage and control of demand to support sustainable and efficient energy communities.
Is author of more than 50 scientific papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=56147940700
He is Editor of the international journal Electric Power Systems Research (EPSR) and Associate Editor of the journal Electrical Engineering (ELEN).
IEEE Senior Member and Member of the Technical Committee 81 of the CEI.
Member of CIRI-FRAME (interdepartmental center for industrial research on renewable sources, environment, sea and energy).
Awards
2016 "Young Scientist Award" for the oral presentation of the paper: “Lightning induced overvoltages on overhead lines shielded by nearby buildings,” by F. Tossani, A. Borghetti, F. Napolitano, C. A. Nucci, and A. Piantini, at the 33rd Int. Conf. on Lightning Protection, Estoril, Portugal, 2016.
2014 Premio di Studio intitolato alla memoria dell’Ing. Lodovico Priori bandito da Edison S.p.A. per il lavoro di Tesi Magistrale: “Effects of the finitely conducting ground on the amplitude and shape of induced overvoltages on overhead distribution lines”.
