Objectives
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE SKILLS ON TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODS - ALSO INSPIRED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL POWER FLOWS IN ENERGY DISTRICTS AND IN NEW GENERATION ELECTRICITY GRIDS.
FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE STUDENT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH TOOLS FOR THE DESIGN OF ENERGY MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS AND FOR POWER & ENERGY MANAGEMENT, DEEPENING BOTH THE TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS (TELEMATIC TECHNOLOGIES, PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC), AND MODELING, CONNECTED TO THE MULTI- TARGET.
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS ALSO TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE MANAGEMENT NEEDS RELATED TO THE MASSIVE INTRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN THE ELECTRICITY GRIDS AND THE SUPPORT THAT ICT IS ABLE TO OFFER FOR THEIR FULL INTEGRATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE ELECTRICITY SYSTEM.
FINALLY, ASPECTS RELATED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY DEMAND (DSM - DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT) AND DEMAND RESPONSE (DR) AND OF GRID SERVICES FOR POWER BALANCING AND VOLTAGE CONTROL ON NEW GENERATION ELECTRICITY GRIDS ARE EXAMINED.
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO MAKE STUDENTS AWARE OF THE NEEDS OF THE ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIAL WORLD, THANKS TO THE CO-TEACHING CONTRIBUTION OF EXPERTS IN THE SECTOR.
Prerequisites
BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF AUTOMATIC CONTROLS AND POWER ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS ARE REQUIRED.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LESSONS, PRACTICAL LABORATORY EXERCISES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND TECHNICAL VISITS.
IN CLASSROOM EXERCISES, STUDENTS CARRY OUT EXPERIENCES ON THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE THEORETICAL LESSONS.
IN LABORATORY EXERCISES, STUDENTS ARE ASSIGNED, DIVIDED INTO WORK GROUPS, PRACTICAL EXERCISES TO BE DEVELOPED ON THE COMPUTER USING COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR PROGRAMMING AND SIMULATION. THE EXERCISES ARE INSTRUMENTAL, IN ADDITION TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE SKILLS TO DESIGN SYSTEMS FOR THE CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND THE HOSTING OF RES, ALSO TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN THE SKILLS TO WORK IN A TEAM.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO PROJECTS PER GROUP IS ENVISAGED: ONE TO BE PRESENTED IN THE CLASSROOM DURING THE COURSE AND ONE TO BE PRESENTED IN THE FORM OF A TECHNICAL REPORT TO BE DISCUSSED DURING THE EXAMINATION.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM IS AIMED AT ASSESSING, AS A WHOLE: THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE; THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS OF SYSTEMS FOR THE CONTROL OF ENERGY AND PLANTS; AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT, COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND THE ABILITY TO LEARN.
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW DURING WHICH THE PROJECT DRAFT PREPARED IN THE FINAL PART OF THE COURSE WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED AND EVALUATED.
THE ORAL INTERVIEW WILL FOCUS ON ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND THE ASSESSMENT WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE KNOWLEDGE DEMONSTRATED BY THE STUDENT AND THE DEGREE OF THEIR IN-DEPTH STUDY, THE ABILITY TO LEARN DEMONSTRATED, THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSURE.
IN THE FINAL EVALUATION, EXPRESSED OUT OF THIRTY, THE EVALUATION OF THE PROJECT WILL WEIGH FOR 35%, WHILE THE ORAL INTERVIEW FOR 65%. HONORS MAY BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED INDEPENDENTLY EVEN IN CONTEXTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT, BUT OBVIOUSLY SIMILAR, TO THOSE PROPOSED IN THE COURSE.
