Energy Engineering

1.Load characteristics and analysis. Coordinated strategy of design, execution, operation and maintenance of electrical installations of buildings. Codes and standards. Lighting. Light sources and illumination. Interior and exterior lighting design (buildings, roads, large areas, tunnels). Technical systems in civil and tertiary buildings. Electrical drives and equipment: industrial processes. Transportation: elevators. 2. Distribution system. Design criteria: components and circuit configurations. Normal operation and fault conditions of the circuits. Overcurrents and thermal life of components. Short circuit currents: characteristic currents method CCM. Overcurrents protective devices. Functional, protective and operational switching. Circuit breakers. Fuses. Protection coordination of system components. MV and LB switchboards. SCADA systems. System control: functional schemes. Building automation and domotics. 3. Utility supply and local generation. Emergency and standby power systems. Load management, cogeneration. Power factor correction. Power systems in coordinated utilization areas, as industries, harbours, hospitals or commercial, institutional, residential buildings. Intelligent management and energy saving. Tariffs. Microgrid with multiple sources. 4. Microgrids. Architectures with multiple sources. Aggregation of users. Energy communities. 5. Safety and operation of electrical installations. Electrical risks: electric shock, fire ignition, arc-flash. Effects of current on human beings and livestock. Conventional risk assessment: protection measures. Protection against electric shock, direct and indirect contacts. Safety conditions for TT-,TN-,IT- systems. Design and constitution of grounding systems. Operational procedures. Risk analysis and assessment : transition theory for electrical network nodes. Operational plans.

Basic course in Electrotechnics

Lectures notes Technical handbooks Papers

Attendance is strongly recommended.

Written and oral exams. A project made during the course is optional.
