Objectives
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF METHODS, ALGORITHMS AND OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN SMART FACTORIES. ASPECTS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE SOURCES, TO THE ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, TO THE INCREASE OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND TO THE INTERACTION WITH THE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION ARE DISCUSSED.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF THE INTEGRATION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY SYSTEMS EXPLOITING FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS IN A SMART FACTORY ENERGY SUPPLY GRID
- TO BE ABLE TO DESIGN ALGORITHMS FOR MANAGING ELECTRICAL ENERGY FLUXES IN A SMART GRID SUPPLYING AN INDUSTRY
- TO KNOW THE ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATING THE ACTUAL DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES WITH THE SMART GRID SUPPLYING THE SMART FACTORY

APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
- TO USE SIMPLE MODELS OF FOSSIL AND RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATORS AND OF ELECTRICAL STORAGE SYSTEMS TO THE AIM OF DEVELOPING A DIGITAL TWIN AND AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
- TO IMPLEMENT ALGORITHMS FOR THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT BY USING DIGITAL DEVICES FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
- TO INTEGRATE DIGITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS INTO THE SMART GRID SUPPLYING THE SMART FACTORY
- TO USE HIGH LEVEL PROGRAMMING TOOLS FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THROUGH AN EMBEDDED DIGITAL DEVICE
Prerequisites
THE STUDENT NEEDS A PRELIMINARY KNOWLEDGE ON BASIC ELEMENTS OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, ON ADVANCED ALGORITHMS AND DATA STRUCTURES AND ON EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.

TOTAL LECTURE / PRACTICE / LABORATORY HOURS 24/18/6
Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES 48 HOURS OF IN PERSON LECTURES, OF WHICH 24 HOURS DEDICATED TO THEORETICAL LECTURES AND 24 HOURS DEDICATED TO EXERCISES, ALSO SOLVED BY USING A COMPUTER, AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM HAS A DURATION OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE STUDENT HAS TO PRODUCE A 20 MINUTES PRESENTATION, FOLLOWED BY A 10 MINUTES DISCUSSION, CONCERNING THE SOLUTION OF THE ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT THE PROFESSOR ASSIGNED TO HIM/HER DURING THE LECTURES AND THE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES.
THE EXAM ALLOWS TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING, ABILITY OF APPLYING THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION ABILITIES, CAPACITY OF ELABORATING NEW SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS BY USING SYSTEMS, CONTROL METHODS AND ALGORITHMS STUDIED DURING THE COURSE. THE ABILITY OF PRESENTING RESULTS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE FINAL EVALUATION.
THE FINAL MARK IS BETWEEN 18 AND 30 CUM LAUDE.

THE MINIMUM (18) IS ASSIGNED TO THE STUDENT SHOWING A WEAK ABILITY OF APPLYING METHODS AND A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE SYSTEMS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE.
THE MAXIMUM (30) IS GIVEN TO THE STUDENT SHOWING AN IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS TREATED IN THE COURSE AND WHEN HE/SHE IS ABLE TO APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE EFFECTIVELY AND ACCURATELY SUPPORTING THE CHOICES DONE.
THE LAUDE IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE SHOWS EXTRAORDINARY KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS TREATED IN THE COURSE, FULL OF DETAILS, AND HE/SHE IS ABLE TO ELABORATE IDEAS AND PUT TOGETHER THE CONCEPTS IN CONTEXTS THAT ARE EVEN DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ONES DESCRIBED IN THE COURSE.
