Sustainable energy and environmental systems are in general complex systems, characterized by a lot of data to be elaborated and dynamic systems to model for the aim of decision support. The course has the objective of providing the basis for simulation, optimization and control of energy and environmental systems, with specific reference to the following topics: smart grids, renewable energy, water resources management.
The course has the objective to give basic knowledge of the methods for the definition and use of mathematical models and software tools for the planning, management and control of environmental and energy systems. The course will include methods related to: control, simulation, model predictive control, which will be described in a strict connection with applicative real case studies (renewable energy mix and polygenerative microgrids, material and energy recovery, natural resources management, etc.).
The course provides basic knowledge related to simulation, optimization and control of energy and environmental systems, by the use of MATLAB-Simulink and LINGO software tools. The specific application areas are: optimal use of forest biomass for energy production, operational management of microgrids, water management and hydroelectric power plants.
