B2193 - OCEANS AND COASTAL AREAS AS GREEN ENERGY RESOURCES

Academic Year 2023/2024

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Ravenna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Environmental Assessment and Management (cod. 5900)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course students will have an overview on emerging technologyes that exploit ocean and coastal areas resources to produce clean energy, like blue energy , wind offshore, tidal energy harvesting plants and the most efficient energy storage solutions. They will be able to classify the possible electrochemical energy storage solutions (batteries, supercapacitors) in relation to the range of application.

Course contents

The course aims at describing emerging technologyes that exploit ocean and coastal areas resources to produce clean energy, like blue energy , wind offshore, tidal energy harvesting plants and the most efficient energy storage solutions

Readings/Bibliography

F. Fuller, J. N. Harb, Electrochemical Engineering, Wiley

In class, indications will be given on the reference texts, all available in libraries. Supporting articles and reviews will also be provided.

Teaching methods

Frontal lessons in which some basic aspects of electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems will be addressed, the state of the technology of some devices and some aspects of materials research and development.

Practical laboratory exercises are provided for the characterization of devices and data analysis.

Assessment methods

The final exam is oral and aims to verify, on the basis of a topic chosen by the student and two or more questions on the main topics covered, both the acquisition of the knowledge required by the course program and the student's ability to know how to move around the topics covered, also using the bibliographic material provided by the teacher.
