Aims of the teaching

The description, modelling, analysis of advanced energy systems based on the integration of power, thermo-chemical and electro-chemical processes for poly-generation purposes. The course develops topics related to electrochemical systems (fuel cells, electrolyzers, flow batteries), thermo-chemical systems (gasification, production of biogas, chemical looping systems), concepts of chemical storage for the production of synthetic fuels (CO2 recovery, power-to-gas, power-to-liquid, in general power-to-X processes) and complete this with the analysis of some examples of complex poly-generation systems. Some activities at the lab level (mainly on electrochemical and thermochemical systems applied to energy) will be developed along the course. A group work, making use of a commercial software (ASPEN+) is also mandatory.

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

Applications of fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics and electrochemistry to energy systems. Understanding and design of complex energy systems based on thermo-chemical and electro-chemical processes and technologies. Understanding and design of power-to-X processes. Understanding and design of technologies and processes for CO2 recovery and re-utilization. Understanding and design of poly-generation systems.
