MECA0468-1  Energy system disgnosis
Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Electro-mechanical Engineering, Teaching Focus, 2nd yearDeuxième quadrimestre5
Holder(s) :  Georges Heyen, Olivier Léonard, Jean‑Louis Lilien
Language :  Langue française
Course contents :  This course combines contribution from three teachers.
The first part analyses how to use a process model to better exploit available measurements. Taking advantage of redundancy (i.e. using more sensors than strictly necessary) allows to :
- diagnose failing sensors
- reduce uncertainty on measured variables
- estimate key performance indicators, which cannot be measured directly
Course objective :  The first part of the course should make the students aware of problems resulting from measurement uncertainty, and present software solution addressing the issue for steady state energy systems.
Prerequisites :  Basic knowledge in statistics and optimisation.
Workshops :  As an illustration of the first part of the course, students have access to a commercial data validation software.
They are required to build the model of a thermal power plant.
Organization :  Lectures : 2h/week
Practice : a teaching assistant provides training in using the validation software; later free access to the system for personal applications.
Written notes :  Copy of course supporting materials and extra documents.
Assessment :  Evaluation based on a personal application (data validation for a power plant) documented in a written report.
