Modelling and analysis of simple energy conversion systems or
similar.
Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about modelling of fundamental mechanical,
electrical and/or thermal systems
- Have obtained comprehension of classic fundamental control
theory
- Have knowledge and experience within laboratory work on control
of an energy conversion system
Skills
- Be able to set up dynamic models of an energy conversion system
and be able to implement these models in a simulation tool
- Be able to set up specifications for a control system taking
the system characteristics and limitations into account
- Be able to apply fundamental control theory to design and
dimension a controller and evaluate its applicability
- Have knowledge about practical implementation of a controller
and have understanding of the instrumentation for measuring the
system conditions
- Be able to evaluate gained theoretical results and
results from experiments based on laboratory work
Competences
- Be able to translate the academic knowledge and skills within
fundamental classic control theory to practical problems
- Be able to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary
cooperation within the energy control theory area related to energy
systems
