Learning unit contents
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
The objective of this course is to familiarize the student with the basic principles of electrical networks, in a context where they have to adapt to the massive emergence of renewable energy, new loads such as electric vehicles and new organizations as how to sell / trade electricity. (e.g., energy communities).
Part 2: Heat networks
This course is intende to introduce the basic concepts of urban district heating networks at the technical level (operational model, heat losses and hydrualic losses evaluation) but also at the economical and environmental levels. through different case studies, the advantages and drawbacks of district heating networks will be exhibited in order to explain the role of these infrastructure in the energy transition. A short introduction of the heat production methods from renewable sources will enable some case studies to be considered.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
With this course, the student will have acquired a good general knowledge of electrical networks in a context of ecological transition. He will also learn how to analyze specific problems that may arise in this field and answer them in an autonomous way. He will also improve his presentation skills.
Part 2: Heat networks
At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand the main design parameters of district heating netowoks in order to realize feasibility studies for this type of infrastructure. He will be able to estinate the installation cost, the transport efficiency and the environmental impact.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
The student must have basic knowledge of mathematics and physics to be able to take this course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
The classes will be articulated around plenary lectures, presentations of the students and the discussion of scientific papers that the students will have to read before the class.
Part 2: Heat networks
Communicated at the first lecture.
Field visit (subject to feasibility: village of Beckerich - Energietour, visit to a heating network in Liège)
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
Face-to-face learning.
Recommended or required readings
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
Course material available at: http://blogs.ulg.ac.be/damien-ernst/teaching/
At the final oral exam, the students must have a good knowledge of all the material seen during the class and posted on the class webpage.
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
The evaluation has three components:
1. A score given for the ability to answer questions asked about the scientific articles to be prepared. (30% of the final grade)
2. A note for the presentation(s) (15% of the final grade)
3. A mark for the oral exam (55% of the final mark)
Work placement(s)
Part 1: Electrical energy systems
None
