The goal of this course to teach the basics of Industrial process and energy systems engineering with the perpective of integrating innovation for the sustainable development of the society.
Systems engineering is the engineer's action that aims at designing systems for a given purpose. Industrial processes and energy systems are defined as a set of interacting elements (technologies or assets) that generate dynamic exchanges between the elements in the system and with its surrounding environment being the society (products, services and resources) or the environment (emissions).
For an engineer, the design of a system consists in defining the capacities (sizes) of the different elements in the system and characterising the associated flows generated by the installed capacities when operated to provide the given purpose. The performances of the system is measured by attributing sustainability (economic, environmental and societal) values to the flows exchanged and the assets activated.
In this course, students will explore, with the help of a team project, how to state the design problem, how to use modeling and optimisation techniques to generate competing system configurations and how to use those models to compare and report the solutions for transparent decision support by stakeholders. The project will also aim at studying the role of technology innovation to generate prospective system designs in the perpective of the sustainable development and the climate change mitigation and adaptation.
