MECA0468-1  Energy system disgnosis
Duration :  30h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :  
Master in Electro-mechanical Engineering, Teaching Focus, 2nd yearSecond semester5
Holder(s) :  Georges Heyen, Olivier Léonard, Jean‑Louis Lilien
Language :  French language
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

ANother part will be dedicated to power system diagnosis on 4 projects :
1) ageing of underground cable by partial discharge measurement on line and off line.
2) ageing of power line overhead conductor (aeolian vibrations)
3) real time evaluation of power line sag (owing to vibration signature)
4) ampacity diagnosis in overhead power lines (using vibration and metéo)
Course objective :  The first and the second 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 as well as in data signal processing.
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.

The second part will ask for practical applications (one for each theme)
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.
