Educational objectives
Teaching represents the first course of systems and components of energy systems
The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basics for design analysis and verification of the functioning of energy components and systems
The main knowledge acquired will be
Plants with steam turbine
Description of the elementary cycle. Improvements to the elementary circuit: repeated overheating, thermal regeneration. Description of the steam system: fume and steam water circuit. Emissions from steam plants
Plants with gas turbine
Description of the elementary cycle. Improvements to the simple cycle: thermal regeneration, inter-refrigerated compression, post-combustion, injection of water and / or steam. Polluting emissions from gas turbine systems
Internal combustion engines
Introduction to internal combustion engines, thermodynamic cycles, real cycles; phase distribution diagram; expression of the power of an engine; 2-stroke engine; injection systems. Analysis of combustion and polluting emissions
Cogeneration
Electric and thermal cogeneration
Combined gas-steam cycles: recovery boilers
Cogeneration systems with gas turbine, steam turbine, internal combustion engine, combined group, Cheng cycle
Alternative energy
Geothermal power plant
Fuel cells
Energy storage, hydrogen
Introduction to smart grid generation systems
The main skills (ie the ability to apply the acquired knowledge) will be:
analyze an ignition or positive ignition engine cycle
to dimension and verify the main parameters of a steam turbine system under various operating conditions
analyze the functioning of the most common cogeneration systems
to size and verify the various types of hydroelectric energy production systems
analyze and compare various accumulation systems
analyze the operation of fuel cells
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
Other information
Frequency is recommended
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 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
