Devono essere note nozioni di fisica tecnica industriale e sistemi energetici

The course will focus on Resilience of critical Infrastructures, with special emphasis on Energy infrastructures. During the first part, the term "resilience" will be conceptualized,  and the modeling approaches, as well as metrics will be discussed. Then, the course will focus on energy transportation and storage: main energy vectors (oil, coal, natural gas, electricity, synthetic fuels, heat-transfer fluids) and energy storage technologies, together with main energy conversion and transformation plants. Finally, a particular focus on distributed generation and energy communities will be provided, with a discussion on the impact of climate change on energy infrastructures and Energy security policies and challenges.

Providing an overview on energy systems and energy resources, with special emphasis onenergy transportation and storage technologies besides the conversion and transportationtechnologies

Providing an overview on how energy infrastructures can synergistically interact with other
(water, gas, ...) critical infrastructures

Providing the tools for quantifying the resilience of energy infrastructures

Il corso si articola in: 1) lezioni frontali che si avvalgono dell'uso di slides - rese disponibili agli studenti mediante la piattaforma e.learning; 2) esercitazioni in aula, aventi come obiettivo la modellazione di un sistema energetico in condizioni di funzionamento al contorno variabili.

La modalità di esame consiste di:

- la realizzazione di un sistema energetico in piccola scala;

- una prova orale, che prende spunto dalla discussione del progetto; scopi della prova orale sono: 1) valutare la capacità dello studente di applicare i corretti strumenti di analisi ed effettuare le scelte più razionali relativamente al problema specifico da risolvere; 2) valutare la conoscenza dei contenuti del corso.
