Università Roma Tre

The class aims at giving the students the necessary knowledge to understand the decentralized generation paradigm, and in particular, the problems related to energy generation from renewable sources. The analysis models used to describe the efficiency production will be studied, along with the effects related to ageing and degradation. Energy conversion systems and algorithms to optimize extracted power (maximum power point tracking) will be studied as well. Moreover, the fundamental technological aspects of smart grids will be described, along with notions on power flow analysis and energy production optimization. Lastly, energy storage technologies will be discussed.
