TMMV51 Modelling and Simulation - Energy, 9 ECTS-points
/Simuleringsteknik - Energi/

Advancement level:
D

Aim:
This course aims at giving the students broad knowledge of the various types of simulation used in the energy field. The mathematical models that will be used are intended for the study of three different types of roblem: a system (or control volume) containing one component, a system contaning a number of different components and a system containing a number of subsystems. The course is intended to provide knowledge n both analysis and synthesis.

Prerequisites:
Energy Technology or Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer, and preferably Energy Technology - project.

Supplementary courses:
Hydraulic Servo systems, Hydro-Mechanical Power Transmissions, Fluid Power System Design, Computational Methods in Heat Transfer, Computational Methods in Fluid Mechanics (CFD), Renewaable Energy.

Course organization:
Teaching is in the form of seminars and projects. The available course time is allocated to three projects of roughly equal size in the fields of Applied Thermodyamics and Fluid Mechanics, Fluid and Mechanical Engineering System and Energy Systems.

Course content:
All projects are concerned with dynamic processes in the field of energy technology. The project in Applied Thermodyamics and Fluid Mechanics deals with a thermo-technical and fluid-mechanical analysis of a component. The project in Fluid and Mechanical Engineering System is concerned with analysis of a system containing a number of fluid-mechanical components. This project covers both fluid flow analysis and control technoloyg. The project in Energy Systems deals with analysis of a large system containig a large number of small and medium-size subsystems. One example of such a system is a township viewed from the standpoint of energy technology.
