CODE 107821 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 3 cfu anno 1 TECNOLOGIE INDUSTRIALI 11429 (L-P03) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/04 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 5° Bimonthly TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course will provide basic notions for the simulation and control of dynamic systems, referring to real application cases such as energy, production and environmental systems. In order to analyze the performance of the systems considered, mathematical models will be defined and software tools such as Matlab / Simulink will be used. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The student will acquire knowledge of the mathematical representation of complex systems in different application areas (energy systems, environmental systems, production, logistics systems, etc.) in which different components interact on different time scales. In particular, the student will learn to use IT tools to simulate these systems' behaviour and analyze their performance. Furthermore, you will understand how to set up and solve problems related to decision support and control. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The main aim of the course is to provide basic notions of systems analysis and control through the analysis and modelling of real case studies. This will provide to opportunity of: -understanding basics of simulation and control that can be applied to several case studies; - understanding and modelling some specific systems relevant to industrial systems (energy management, production, smart grids and buildings, etc.). Moreover, the students will use software tools to evaluate the considered systems that can be also applied to other case studies. The transversal skills on which we intend to focus are: - personal competence - social competence - ability to learn to learn proficiency in project creation - expertise in project management PREREQUISITES none TEACHING METHODS The course includes lectures, seminars and computer exercises. In particular, as regards transversal skills, exercises (on and off the computer) will be carried out in the classroom, encouraging work in different groups in order to promote personal and social skills and project development. Small projects will also be assigned to develop and present. Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it ), the Polytechnic School's disability liaison. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The course will cover basic notions of modeling and control of dynamic systems, with reference to simple application cases, including through the use of software tools. The lessons of the course will cover the following topics: - Introduction to the analysis of dynamic systems. - Introduction to various application themes (with reference to real case studies): sustainable districts, intelligent electricity grids (smart grids), intelligent buildings (smart buildings), logistics and production systems. - Modeling of dynamic systems using software tools (MATLAB / Simulink), with reference to the above-mentioned application areas. - Introduction to the control of dynamic systems. - Control of dynamic systems also through software tools (MATLAB / Simulink, Lingo), with reference to the above application areas.

Students with learning disorders ("Disturbi Specifici di Apprendimento", DSA) will be allowed to use specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis in agreement with the delegate of the Engineering courses in the Committee for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities. ASSESSMENT METHODS The verification methods concern: 1. During the oral exam the teacher will define a system that the student will have to characterize from the point of view of simulation and control 2. During the oral exam some general questions will be asked to verify the knowledge of point 1, and to evaluate the reasoning skills 3. During the oral exam a report developed by the students during the exercises will be evaluated. The evaluation criteria concern: - correctness of the project report and written and oral answers - appropriate vocabulary and confidence in exposure Agenda 2030 - Sustainable Development Goals Quality education Gender equality Affordable and clean energy Sustainable cities and communities Responbile consumption and production Climate action
