	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE COURSE WILL PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE ON SOME OF THE MAJOR EMERGING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS IN THE ENERGY AND TRANSPORT SECTORS, MAINLY FOCUSING ON FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID VEHICLES. THESE SYSTEMS WILL BE CONSIDERED WITHIN THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK OF ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT AND ITS EVOLUTION SCENARIOS. FURTHERMORE, THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING THE KNOWLEDGE LEVEL REQUIRED TO ASSESS MAIN POTENTIAL AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDIED SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER PROMISING TECHNOLOGICAL OPTIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ACQUIRE BASIC KNOWLEDGE FOR SOME OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE ENERGY CONVERSION AND PROPULSION SYSTEMS. THE COURSE PROVIDES THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER WITH THE BASIC METHODOLOGIES, TO BE ADOPTED BOTH FOR CORRECTLY DESIGNING THE PROPOSED SYSTEMS AND WELL ADDRESSING CONTROL AND DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES ASSOCIATED TO ON-FIELD FUNCTIONING OF SUCH SYSTEMS. PARTICULARLY, THE COURSE AIMS AT FOCUSING THE STUDY ON THOSE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES THAT PRESENT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DIFFUSION PROSPECTS WORLDWIDE. MAKING JUDGEMENTS ABILITY TO ANALYZE ENERGY SYSTEMS, FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS, TO CHOOSE THE TYPE AND IDENTIFY THE DESIGN CRITERIA AS A FUNCTION OF THE FINAL APPLICATION. ABILITY TO ANALYZE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE DESIGN, CONTROL AND DIAGNOSIS OF FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS. IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO APPLICATIONS. CCOMMUNICATION SKILLS ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM AND PERFORM ORAL PRESENTATION ON A TOPIC DEALING WITH FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS. LEARNING SKILLS KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE GAINED EXPERTISE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.

MAKING JUDGEMENTS
ABILITY TO ANALYZE ENERGY SYSTEMS, FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS, TO CHOOSE THE TYPE AND IDENTIFY THE DESIGN CRITERIA AS A FUNCTION OF THE FINAL APPLICATION.
ABILITY TO ANALYZE PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE DESIGN, CONTROL AND DIAGNOSIS OF FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS. IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO APPLICATIONS.

CCOMMUNICATION SKILLS
ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM AND PERFORM ORAL PRESENTATION ON A TOPIC DEALING WITH FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS.

LEARNING SKILLS
KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE GAINED EXPERTISE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS USING MATERIALS OTHER THAN THOSE PROPOSED.

	Prerequisites
	SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF ALL OBJECTIVES REQUIRES DETAILED KNOWLEDGE OF THERMODYNAMICS, APPLIED MECHANICS, FLUID MACHINERY AND POWER SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS BASICS OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMING.

	Contents
	AFTER AN EXTENSIVE INTRODUCTION ON THE ENERGY-ENVIRONMENTAL FRAMEWORK AND THE EMERGING CONCERNS IN THE TRANSPORT SECTOR, THE COURSE FOCUSES ON THE STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEMS. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE GIVEN TO PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE (PEM) FUEL CELLS, WHICH OPERATE AT LOW TEMPERATURE AND, DUE TO REDUCED STARTUP TIME, ARE MORE SUITABLE FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS, AND TO SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS (SOFC), WHICH THANKS TO THE HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES ALLOW GREATER FUEL FLEXIBILITY AND WELL ADAPT TO APPLICATIONS OF DISTRIBUTED GENERATION, COGENERATION AND TRIGENERATION. FOR HYBRID VEHICLES, THE METHODS OF CLASSIFICATION OF THE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS AVAILABLE WILL BE DISCUSSED, IN ADDITION TO PERFORMING DETAILED STUDIES ON THE BENEFITS ARISING FROM HYBRIDISATION COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL ENGINES. FURTHERMORE, THE COURSE WILL DEAL WITH THE MAIN THEORETICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL METHODS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ADOPTED FOR PROPER SIZING AS WELL AS FOR DEFINING ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGIES FOR THE ANALYZED ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE, GIVEN IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE, COVERS LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES, INDIVIDUAL USE OF COMPUTERS, AND LABORATORY. THE PRACTICAL PART INCLUDES EXAMPLES OF CALCULATIONS RELATED TO VARIOUS TOPICS, WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION IN MATLAB-SIMULINK. IN LABORATORY EXERCISES STUDENTS APPLY EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY TO THE CHARACTERIZATION OF FUEL CELLS AND HYBRID VEHICLES.

	Verification of learning
	THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF COURSE OBJECTIVES WILL BE ASSESSED THROUGH A PRACTICAL TEST AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW. PASSING THE EXAM IS DETERMINED BY THE VERIFICATION OF A PROPER LEARNING OF THE THEORETICAL AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS PROVIDED BY THE COURSE. THE EVALUATION IS CARRIED OUT BY ANALYZING THE ABILITY TO SOLVE A TYPICAL ENGINEERING PROBLEM.
