Moreover a detailed overview on the applications, environmental impact and economic aspects is presented with particular regards to the current and future plant configurations and alternative fuel utilisations. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims at giving to the students the theoretical knowledge for the analysis, understanding and comparison of innovative energy systems fed by fossil fuels and renewable energy sources (Fuel Cells, ORC, CCS). Moreover, with the support of practical exercises the thermo-economical system performance and the plant transient behaviour will be explained and analysed. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Worldwide and national energy production overview. Traditional and renewable energy sources. Environmental aspects of energy production. Carbon capture and sequestration methods. Energy storage by means of Hydrogen and chemicals production. Innovative plants fed by Hydrogen. Fuel Cells and Hybrid systems for power generation. Biofuels and biomass utilisations. Concentrated Solar Power plants. Distributed generations and smart grids. Innovative configuration for traditional power plants: Integrated Gasification Combined cycles, Steam Injection gas turbine). Economical aspect of Innovative systems. Transient behaviour of power systems. TEACHING METHODS The course is formed by a succession of theoretical lessons, where the above main subjects are developed, and some exercises about direct and inverse calculations concerning the subjects of lessons. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The subjects are: The present energy scenarios and the perspectives of the innovative systems in the short and medium period on the ground of technical and economic considerations The energy management and the market: distributed generation, cogeneration, renewable energies. Innovative cycles and CO2 sequestration in order to enhance the sustainability of fossil fuels. Tools for energy systems analysis: applications to production and induced pollution. Energy from renewable sources (biomass, waves) Thermo economic analisys of innovative systems RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Fuel Cell Handbook, US Department of Energy, Morgantown, WV (USA), 2013.
