Course content
The course contains energy and energy conversion within multi-domain energy systems, consisting of: - Mechanical power transmission (rotary and linear motion). - Hydraulic and pneumatic power transmission (power hydraulics). - Electric power transmission (direct current and alternating current).
The course deals primarily with various forms of energy and their relationships; potential and kinetic energy, as well as the transformation of these forms of energy. Systems engineering principles: multi-domain systems., interface and interaction.
Modeling and simulation of dynamic systems. Mechanical energy and power transmission both linear and rotating, as well as transmission to hydraulic and electrical energy and energy storage in various forms.
The hydraulic power part also deals with basic understanding: hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, impulse rate, losses in pipe systems, valves / components. The course also deals with basic principles for control of energy transfer: instrumentation techniques, control strategies and controllers.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: After passing the course the student has:
- basic knowledge about energy, energy conversion and energy transfer.
- knowledge of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical energy transfer.
- basic understanding of key energy converters, efficiencies and losses.
- basic knowledge of controlling and regulating technical systems.
- overview of the key elements of measuring technique and instrumentation of energy systems - machines.
Competence: After passing the course the student can:
- perform analysis of energy flow in complex energy processes - machines.
- basic design of simple energy processes - machines that include several different forms of energy.
- consider various forms of energy in relation to different applications.
- evaluate, select and design components for complex machines / assessing / selecting various basic control strategies
General competence: The student has a solid understanding of correct and efficient use of energy, a good understanding that interdisciplinarity is necessary to develop good system solutions.
