Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide the necessary tools for the study of dynamic behavior and control of energy systems
Course contents
The course includes two parts, an introduction to the classical control theory and application to energy systems
Mathematical study of control systems.
Definition of SISO LTI system.
Laplace transform. Inverse Laplace transform.
Stability analysis for a system. Routh stability criterion.
Frequency response of linear systems: Bode diagrams, Nyquist plot
Open and closed-loop systems: Definition and evaluation of permanent errors. Definition of margin of phase and amplitude.
Nyquist stability criterion. Root Locus. Feedback control design.
Energy systems
Hydraulic, mechanical and thermal systems and components.
Modeling with lumped parameters. Study of the stability, dynamic response of the system.
Application of control theory to power plants (steam turbine, hydraulic turbine, turbogas), cogeneration plants, heat production plants, internal combustion engines.

Teaching methods
Frontal teaching lessons in the classroom, mainly with the help of the blackboard, related to all the topics in the program.
During the course will be presented examples, exercises and practical applications using commercial software (such as Matlab / Simulink, AMESim) or openSource (eg Octave, Scilab, Hopsan)
Attendance is strongly recommended for better learning of concepts and notions, but does not affect the final evaluation process.
Assessment methods
The verification is carried out only by means of the final exam, there are no partial tests.
The exam is in written form of the duration of about 3 hours.
The test consists of two parts, administered simultaneously, the first consists of at least one question on theoretical topics, covered in the course, to be carried out in open form, the second by at least two analytical/numerical exercises.
The exam will be grade over the 0-30 range, with 18 the minimum to pass, 30 the maximum. Honor can be assigned.
If the course is part of the integrated course DYNAMIC, CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF M CI ENERGY SYSTEMS, the final grade, that will be recorded, will be given by the arithmetic average, rounded to the next whole number, of the marks that the student will have obtained in the courses which make up the integrated course. The final "30 e lode" (30 and honors) is awarded if the candidate has obtained 30 in both modules and the honor in at least one of them.
Teaching tools
Classical chalk and blackboard. Slides and audiovisual supports. PC-based software
