Educational objectives The course is a course of systems and components for energy systems with a strong experimental
The main goal of education is to provide students with advanced skills for design analysis and verification of operation of components and energy systems
The main knowledge gained will be:
Analysis of energy storage: thermal energy storage in the form (TES), a heat-sensitive, latent heat and thermochemical form; electricity storage, pumping systems (PHS), ssistemi air (CAES), badminton (EDF), battery systems, hydrogen storage systems (HES), flow batteries (FBES), systems and capacitors super capacitors, superconducting magnetic systems (SMES)
CAES systems. Analysis of the problems of the turbine and compressor machines, analysis of the issues of storage systems, integrated management systems CAES
Systems of electrolysis / fuel cells. Historical overview, principles of operation, types of fuel cell systems, fuel cells, the main application of the fuel cell / electrolysis systems
Systems of flow batteries: operating principles. Comparison with other storage solutions, further research
Systems of electrolysis / fuel cell systems and laboratory analysis of experimental tests
Systems regorming of methane laboratory analysis of the systems and experimental tests

The main skills (ie the ability to apply the knowledge acquired) will be:
analyze a CAES system
sizing and verify the main parameters of a system of generation of hydrogen
analyze the functioning of the battery to flow
sizing and check the systems of reforming of methane
Prerequisites Topics covered in the module require you to have the ability to solve simple mass balance and energy and the ability to solve simple integrals and derivatives
Teaching methods The course is organized as follows
Lectures on all the topics of the course
Lessons in laboratories machines. Students will be divided into groups (maximum 3 students per group) and will follow 16 specific lessons of 2 hours each
Other information Frequancy ecommended, mandatory lessons in laboratory
Learning verification modality The exam includes an oral and / or written test. The oral exam in a discussion lasting about 30 minutes aimed at ascertaining the level of knowledge and the understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological implications listed in the program (internal combustion engines, turbo machinery, energy systems). The oral exam will also test the ability of communication with the student of language and autonomous organization of the exposure on the same topics in theoretical content. The written Consite in the solution of two / three problems in computational nature and / or size of the plant and / or multiple-choice questions and / or open technical content and methodology of the program. The test has a duration of not more than 3 hours and is designed to test the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge, the understanding of the issues proposed and the ability to communicate in a written
The test may also include, in addition to the high proof, nice discussion of a case study proposed by the teacher as a laboratory to one or more tests, carried out as a project carried out individually or in groups. In the discussion will explain the issues raised in the case assigned, the alternatives to the project, any regulatory environment, the methodology adopted, the analysis of the results obtained. The discussion can take advantage of a written report or about 10 slides and predict the demand for theoretical study and clarification of detail by members of the examination committee.
The evidence as a whole allows us to ensure both the ability of knowledge and understanding, and the ability to apply the acquired skills and the ability to display, and the ability di apprendere and process solutions for independent judgment

Contents The global energy-environment framework. The traditional energy sources. Energy markets. Interactions between energy systems and the environment. Energy planning.
Reference texts Lecture notes will be distributed by the teacher.
Educational objectives The primary objective of the module is to provide students with the tools to learn about issues related to the traditional energy sources, their impact on the environment and how to manage their planning.
Prerequisites Applied physics.
Teaching methods The course is organised with classroom lectures on all treated subjects. Furthermore, interactive moments in groups will be organised for a better understanding of the dynamics linked to energy policy issues.
Other information Attendance to the classes is optional but strongly advised.
Learning verification modality The exam is oral and it consists of a discussion of no longer than 30 minutes.
The exam aims to ascertain: i) the level of
knowledge of the theoretical-methodological contents of the course ii) the level of
competence in exposing the issues related to energy supply iii) autonomy of judgment in proposing the most appropriate approach for each area. The oral test also aims to verify the student's ability to express the themes proposed by the Commission, and to support a dialectical relationship during the discussion.
Extended program The global and national energy framework. Global pollution. International treaties for environmental protection. The coal. The gas. Oil. Nuclear energy. Electricity market. Gas market. Economic indicators. Incentives. Air pollution of energy systems. Secondary pollutants and emission sources. Water and thermal pollution of energy systems. Pollution by E.M.F. . Municipalities energy planning. Examples of municipalities energy planning. Sustainable Energy Action Plans.
