Complex systems applications to electric mobility and regional intermittent source planning

This chapter shows two examples of application complex networks and stochastic systems to energy systems. Two case studies are taken into consideration: the first one illustrates how regional-scale electric mobility can be planned with the help of complex network science, while the second shows how stochastic systems and Markowitz portfolios can be used for an efficient planning of intermittent sources at regional level. The chapter is an attempt to link complex systems science with the analysis of energy systems under the systemic point of view.
