EEN-E1040 - Measurement and Control of Energy Systems, Lecture, 13.9.2021-3.12.2021

Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • The student knows the measurement principles of temperature, humidity, flow and other relevant quantities in energy technology
  • The student is able to use regular measuring  and data acquisition equipmen
  • The student is able to identify most important factors influencing the measurement result and  measurement uncertainty
  • The student is able to estimate measurement uncertainty in a quantitative manner
  • The student knows which factors influence the gain and dynamics of a process and is able to tune a PID-controller

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures:

    • Introduction
    • Flow measurement
    • Temperature measurement
    • Pressure measurement
    • Measurement uncertainty
    • Data acquisition
    • Controls I & II

    Laboratory measurements:

    • Temperature
    • Flow
    • Control demonstration
    • Device measurement (combustion engine)

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Lectures + laboratory measurements in small groups. Measurement reports are written in groups for each laboratory exercise, and graded on a scale of 0-5. Additionally, each student is given a grade for their individual effort during the course and this grade is used as a weighing factor when determining the final course grade. Anonymous peer-review among the group is used to determine the individual effort grade.

Workload

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Teamwork (laboratory measurements, reporting)                100 hours

    Lectures                                                                     16 hours

    Preparative tasks for measurements                                 16 hours

DETAILS

Study Material
