CODE 118114 ACADEMIC YEAR 2026/2027 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 2 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING FOR ENERGY TRANSITION 11955 (LM-28) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-IND/32 LANGUAGE English TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester OVERVIEW The course aims to present the applications of static converters in electrical networks, both from the perspective of conversion topologies and from the perspective of their control and the consequent interaction with the electrical network. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The module aims to present the types of static converters used to support power grids such as static compensation devices and HVDC systems. The study in both steady-state and fault conditions will be proposed. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Provide students with the ability to understand the operation of static converters in applications supporting the electrical network. By the end of the course, the student should be able to: 1. Describe the sizing of converters considering their operation under steady-state conditions. 2. Describe how fault conditions in the electrical network require resizing the converters beyond steady-state conditions. TEACHING METHODS The teaching methods will be classical lessons of theory with laboratories SW and HW in order to verify that the theory learned is fully understood. TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD LUIS RAMON VACCARO Ricevimento: Any time by appointment (0103352180, luis.vaccaro@unige.it) LESSONS Class schedule The timetable for this course is available here: Portale EasyAcademy EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Oral and practical laboratory exam where the student must solve a problem proposed by the teacher. ASSESSMENT METHODS The students are required to explain to the teacher the results of computer and hardware laboratory activities and to respond to specific requests in relation to what has been presented, as well as to demonstrate the operation of models.
