ENERGY ENGINEERING

The Master of Science (MSc) course in Energy Engi-neering is aimed at students trained as general engi-neers with skills on the new technologies relevant tothe energy conversion and its rational use. Candidateswill be required to plan, design and manage energysystems blending creative solutions with up-to-datetechnologies relative to energy conversion and effi-ciency enhancement. At the end of the course, engineers will be good at ope-rating in the current technological/industrial environ-ment - i.e. a dynamic and competitive one - and sensi-tive to the main industry, environment and securityissues and standards. The main aim of the course is to offer an in-depth theo-retical and practical understanding of the most advan-ced energy conversion technologies, including rene-wable energy generation and energy storage.

The course consists of modules that include thermo-fluid dynamics and thermo-chemical dynamics, as wellas fluid machinery and energy conversion systems (co-generation, fuel cells, power plants from renewableenergy sources and smart grids), traditional energyand civil engineering plants, electric networks, econo-mics, available and emerging technologies for reducinggreenhouse gas emissions and environmental moni-toring.A rising interest in and increased urge for 20/20/20 po-licies in Europe has resulted in a growing industrialdemand for highly qualified Energy Engineers with asound knowledge and specific skills to analyze, designand develop effective solutions in a broad range of con-texts. Furthermore, in the last few years both emergingindustrial countries and developing ones have increa-

In the last years both industrialization and populationgrowth have brought to a higher demand forsustainable energy, smart energy management withreduced environmental impact. As a result the MSc Energy Engineering was born outof the need to better cope with Sustainable Develop-ment issues and progress in energy conversion te-chnologies, in including renewable energy generationand energy storage, NZE buildings, with an increasingattention devoted to greenhouse gas emissions re-duction through a multidisciplinary approach.

This MSc course is taught in English and students aresupported in achieving higher English language skills.The University of Genoa set its modern campus inSavona and in the last few years, public and privatefunds have been invested to improve its infra -structures, sport facilities, hall of residence, libraryand an auditorium.The University of Genoa and Siemens jointly develo-ped a smart polygeneration microgrid in Savona Cam-pus - officially commissioned on February 2014. Since then the campus has largely generated enoughpower to satisfy its own needs with the help of severalnetworked energy producers, i.e. total capacity 250kW of electricity and 300 kW of heating. The grid includes micro gas turbines, absorptionchillers, a photovoltaic plant, a solar power stationand electrochemical and thermal storage systems. This huge facility together with a series oflaboratories located at the Campus (e.g. CombustionLab, Energy Hub Lab) offer the students a uniqueopportunity for hands-on activities, e.g. to measureand investigate the performance of real scaleinnovative energy systems.

sed their awareness of environmental issues and energyproduction and started implementing large energy en-gineering projects thus boosting the job opportunitiesworldwide.The course isaimed at stu-dents seekinghigh qualifica-tion in the fol-lowing mainfields:

• Energy con-version pro-cesses fromchemical, bio -chemical, thermal sources into mechanical and elec-trical ones

• Sustainable & Distributed Energy: renewable energy(solar, geothermal, wind, hydro), fuel cells, bio-fuels,smart power grids, low emission power plants

• Sustainable Development: C02 sequestration, LCAanalysis, biomass exploitation, Energy Audit in buil-dings, energy from waste, recycling, modelling andexperimental techniques devoted to optimum energymanagement.

The MSc course work in partnership with industries andresearch institutes in Liguria, in Italy and abroad.

In response to this growing demand of expertise theUniversity of Genoa MSc in Energy Engineering (120ECTS) at Savona Campus has been conceived for eitherengineers or science students. A minimum of either BSc or higher degreee in a relevantbranch of engineering or science is required.
