Course content
The subject deals with processing and system design. The subject provides an understanding of how energy systems can be integrated into a larger system, e.g. in a vessel. The system for the production of renewable energy in offshore/coastal areas, storage and use is described. In system integration, account must be taken of the characteristics and the process design for the given energy carrier. The course will focus on both traditional and renewable energy carriers, and how the various fuels are converted into mechanical/electrical energy. Carbon capture, hydrogen production and the production of synthetic gas and bio-fuels such as biomethane and biomethanol will be analysed. The subject provides a basis for evaluating and recommending energy systems in relation to the sustainability goals.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: After completing the course, the student can demonstrate advanced knowledge of processes for the production of renewable energy and energy carriers, storage of energy carriers, energy conversion and production of electrical energy, through internal combustion engines and fuel cells. This includes system integration, particularly in maritime applications. Topics are energy from the sun and wind, batteries, hydrogen, hydrogen-rich energy carriers such as ammonia and methanol, flywheels etc. CCS, heat recovery and energy efficiency are also topics.
Skills: After the course, the student can perform simple process calculations and system analyzes for an integrated energy system. The student is able to assess various energy solutions and possibilities for energy efficiency, as well as having an insight into what this entails for requirements and guidelines for system integration.
General competence: After the course, the student has the ability to analyze and design complex energy systems and integrate the energy system in a larger context. The student can communicate with professionals in the field and the public, both orally and in writing.
