Control of Energy Conversion Systems Module

Introduction

The Control of Energy Conversion Systems module is a 15 ECTS project work that focuses on the control of energy conversion systems. The module is based on knowledge achieved in the project module Modelling and Analysis of Simple Energy Conversion Systems or similar.

Learning Objectives

Knowledge

• Have knowledge about modelling of fundamental mechanical, electrical, and/or thermal systems
• Have obtained comprehension of classic fundamental control theory
• Have knowledge and experience within laboratory work on control of an energy conversion system

Skills

• Be able to set up dynamic models of an energy conversion system and be able to implement these models in a simulation tool
• Be able to set up specifications for a control system taking the system characteristics and limitations into account
• Be able to set up a specific goal for the project
• Be able to apply fundamental control theory to design and dimension a controller and evaluate its applicability
• Have knowledge about practical implementation of a controller and have understanding of the instrumentation for measuring the system conditions
• Be able to evaluate gained theoretical results and results from experiments based on laboratory work

Competences

• Be able to translate the academic knowledge and skills within fundamental classic control theory to practical problems
• Be able to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary cooperation within the energy control theory area related to energy systems

Type of Instruction

The module involves problem-based project-organised work in groups, where the solution emerges as an iterative process with reflections on the set sub-goals and analyses, and where personal collaboration skills and tolerance and robustness towards others' inputs are strengthened through group collaboration.

Extent and Expected Workload

The module is expected to require 450 hours of work for the student, as it is a 15 ECTS project work.
