Energy: sources, conversion and storage with lab

The course deals with the advanced methods and the most innovative technologies for the exploitation of energy sources, their conversion and storage, with particular reference to renewables, together with market trends, with the aim of allowing a critical evaluation and comparison of performance of different methods/devices.

The students will learn how to conjugate the scientific and technical approach for the exploitation of energy sources with the environmental and economic/industrial issues.
Students will be able to discuss pros and cons of different processes aimed at the same final product (e.g. hydrogen production and storage, electricity production, distribution and storage).
