| Contents | The risks of energy systems and the role of storage. Energy storage technologies: technical and functional overview (Li-ion batteries, redox flow systems, hydrogen, CAES, thermal storage). Management in critical scenarios: islanded microgrids, ancillary services, black-start, load shedding supported by storage. Modeling and simulation: digital tools for forecasting and optimizing the use of storage in emergencies. |
| Reference texts | Lecture notes and teaching materials provided by the teacher. Relevant scientific articles will also be distributed. |
| Educational objectives | Understand and describe the main energy storage technologies and their behavior under abnormal conditions. Evaluate the strategic role of storage systems in energy emergency management and service continuity. Design operational strategies for the optimal use of storage systems in risk scenarios. Critically analyze the resilience of storage systems and their contribution to grid stability. Integrate forecasting models and digital tools (monitoring, control, diagnostics) to support the dynamic management of the system. |
| Prerequisites | Basic knowledge of energy systems. Fundamentals of chemistry and physics. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follows Introductory classroom lessons (8 hours) Delayed e-learning lessons (12 hours) |
| Other information | attendance is recommended |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of an oral test divided into two parts: Presentation of a project work prepared by the student; One or more questions on the course content. |

| Contents | The course aims to introduce students to the knowledge of the main psychological and social reactions that characterize emergency contexts. To this end, attention will be given to the operational setting and the main consequences and types of psychosocial intervention in the pre-, during, and post-emergency phases. In addition, the most common reactions to disasters by the families of victims, emergency workers, and the community, in general, will be explored. Moreover, the relations between climate change and health will be discussed. |
| Reference texts | English references are available upon request |
| Educational objectives | The main objective of the course is to provide students with knowledge and skills on the main reactions and difficulties faced by the individual, rescuers, and the community in emergencies. The course objectives are defined as follows concerning the following domains:- Knowledge and understanding skills: to enable the student to attain the fundamental knowledge to understand the main reactions in emergencies;- Application of knowledge: to enable the student to apply this knowledge to recognize situations of potential vulnerability in emergencies;- Autonomy of judgment: the student will be able to integrate the knowledge acquired at a theoretical level with the specificity of concrete cases that he/she may encounter in potential work contexts;- Communication: the student will acquire a specific terminology that will enable him/her to communicate with a specialist (and non-specialist) interlocutors in the sector and/or in an interdisciplinary manner;- Learning skills: the student will develop the competence to study independently and research specialist material in the sector also and through the use of bibliographic research in sector databases. |
| Teaching methods | Lectures (some of them in TD), discussion of emergencies and post-disaster interventions on a mainly national level. |
| Other information | During the course, the student can check the course material and any announcements/notices from the lecturer on UniStudium. |
| Learning verification modality | There is only one final assessment. The objective of the test is to verify the level of knowledge and understanding reached by the student on the theoretical and methodological contents indicated in the program. The assessment includes an oral test. For information on support services for students with disabilities and/or DSA visit http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa If the student intends to anticipate the exam a year before the one scheduled in the study plan, it is recommended that he/she attends the cycle of lectures and takes the exam in the first useful call after the lectures have ended, thus respecting the semester in which the course is scheduled. |
| Extended program | 1. Disaster psychology and the rescue workers; 2. Distress and related issues; 3. National systemic review on rescue workers; 4. International systemic review on rescue workers; 5. Climate change impact on psychophysical well-being; 6. The impacts on mental health of acute and extreme climate events; 7. The impacts on mental health of medium and long-term climate events. |
