Objectives
COURSE OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE METHODOLOGICAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES IN THE AREA OF POWER SYSTEMS WITH HIGH LEVELS OF AUTOMATION. TO THE PURPOSE KNOWLEDGE IS PROVIDED ON CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES USED IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND MAJOR METHODOLOGIES OF OPTIMAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT. OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE MOREOVER IS TO PROVIDE ANALYTICAL TOOLS AND ALGORITHMS FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIMED ALSO AT SAVING AND EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND ENERGETIC NEEDS IN THE INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT AND TO INDIVIDUATE SOLUTIONS FOR THE CHOICE OF LOAD AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICIES.

APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS
AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT IS ABLE TO IMPLEMENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR MONITORING AND CONTROL OF POWER SYSTEMS IN INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS. THE STUDENT IS ABLE, IN ADDITION, TO IMPLEMENT ALGORITMS FOR MANAGING MACHINERY AND PRODUCTION PLANTS, ALSO AIMING AT SAVINGS AND EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY AREAS OF INTERVENTION TO ASSESS THE ENERGY NEEDS OF COMPANIES. KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN TERMS OF SUPPLY MIX AND SYNTHESIS OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AIMED AT ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
BEING ABLE TO WORK IN A TEAM. KNOW HOW TO PRESENT, ARGUING THEM, THE CHOICES RELATED TO THE DEFINITION OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICIES FOR COMPANIES, ALSO FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF VIRTUAL POWER PLANT.
KNOW HOW TO MANAGE PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE AUTOMATION OF INDUZTRIAL PROCESSES, ALSO FIANLIZED TO THE EFFICIENT USE OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY, INTERACTING WITH COMPANIES IN THE ELECTRICAL SECTOR.

LEARNING SKILLS
BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE AND DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
NO SPECIFIC PREREQUISITES ARE REQUIRED BEYOND THE BASIC COMPUTER KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED IN THE FIRST LEVEL AND IN THE COMPULSORY COURSE PROVIDED FOR BY THE STUDY PLAN

OPTIMAL POWER FLOW IN POWER GRIDS: MINIMIZATION OF COST FUNCTIONS, NETWORK LOSSES, UNIT COMMITMENT PROBLEM.
TECHNICAL VISITS.
Teaching Methods
THERE ARE FRONTAL LESSONS IN CLASS, LABORATORY ACTIVITIES AND TECHNICAL VISITS TO COMPANIES OPERATING IN THE ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION FIELD AS ALSO OF COMPANIES IMPLEMENTING ADVANCED ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND SELF-PRODUCTION AND SELF-CONSUMPTION FUNCTIONS. DURING THE COURSE THE STUDENTS, ORGANIZED IN WORKING GROUPS, DEVELOP A PROJECT DRAWING UP WITH ONE OF THE COURSE TOPICS AS ITEM.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF ONLY ORAL INTERVIEW DURING WHICH THE PROJECT IS ALSO DISCUSSED. THE PROJECT DISCUSSION WEIGHS FOR ABOUT 30% OF THE FINAL VOTE.
