Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The module is based on knowledge obtained in the module Control of energy conversion systems or similar.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Be able to understand the importance of integration of modelling and control in a dynamic ultidisciplinary system
• Be able to understand the importance of physical and mathematical modelling in a dynamic system
• Have an understanding of digital implementation and basic techniques for digital control design
• Have an understanding of implementation and basic techniques for state-space control design and modern control technology
• Be able to understand scientific methods and theories in relation to the semester theme and indentify differenct types of problems
• Be able to understand how to set up an economic analysis for the dynamic multidisciplinary system

Skills

• Be able to apply a dynamic analysis process on offshore energy systems
• Be able to apply digital models for and conduct analysis of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, fluid, thermal and multidisciplinary systems, such as wind turbine transmission systems, or oil and gas systems
• Have gained experience in laboratory work or real measured data series with focus on a dynamic system control
• Be able to analyse obtained results from simulations and laboratory work or real measured data series
• Be able to understand business principles and do a cost-benefit analysis on the dynamic multidisciplinary system

Competences

• Have acquired the ability to translate academic knowledge and skills within dynamic multidisciplinary systems into a practical problem in offshore energy systems, and be able to process such a problem and put this into perspective in relation to the surrounding society
• Have acquired the ability to participate in professional and interdisciplinary cooperation within the multidisciplinary systems
• Have acquired the ability to assess basic economic conditions in the development and commissioning of systems or appliances

Type of instruction

Problem based and project organised work in project groups. Some lectures are given in business principles and cost benefit analysis to support the objectives in this area.

The students are introducted to PBL based entrepreneurship. They are introduced to models, tools and methods often used in entrepreneurial projects.

Extent and expected workload

Since it is a 15 ECTS project work, the work load is expected to be 450 hours for the student.
