Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This learning unit handles three different domains:
- fuel cells and hydrogen,
- combined heat and power (cogeneration),
- storage of electrical energy.
With regard to cogeneration, students learn to understand the differences between the technologies that can be implemented in order to achieve cost-effective designs.
With regard to electrical energy storage, students learn to understand its importance in reconciling variable production and consumption.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this learning unit, the student will be able to:
- establish the energy balance for electrochemical systems;
- calculate functioning points of full cells or electrolisers;
- design a cogeneration;
- calculate the contribution of a storage solution for the grid.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Basis concepts of thermodynamics and balances.
Use of a spreadsheet (Excel).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theoretical presentations and projects for the cogeneration and storage sections.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Platform(s) used for course materials:
- eCampus
Further information:
The slides are provided to the students after each lecture for the part about full cells & hydrogen.
The course notes are provided to the student on e-campus for the part about cogeneration and storage.
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
oral exam
Written work / report
Further information:
For fuel cells and hydrogen, the note is based on a written examination at the end of the term. The questions asked are similar to the exercises and examples covered in class.
A second note is given for the section on cogeneration and electrical energy storage based on a project with a written report (submitted before the start of the session) and an oral presentation (during the session). The project is assessed as follows:
- 50% - Technical section: quality of calculations, methodological rigour, validity of assumptions.
- 25% - Financial section: relevance of economic and financial analyses, soundness of assumptions.
- 25% - Communication skills: quality of the oral presentation, clarity and structure of the written document, ability to convince.
The note for the teaching unit is the average of the two notes obtained.
The same conditions apply in the second session. If the project is unsuccessful, a new study on a new subject may be requested: the teaching team will specify its expectations on the day the January session papers are reviewed.
