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 Knowledge of the behavior of innovative energy production plants and the effect of real operating conditions. Knowledge of the transient behavior of innovative energy systems and ability to determine their control parameters. Ability to define advantages and criticalities of systems with a reduced environmental footprint. Ability to calculate the techno-economic performance of the energy systems presented. 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 Hydrogen and fuel cells Power to fuel RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY Fuel Cell Handbook, US Department of Energy, Morgantown, WV (USA), 2013.
