AAE-E1040 - Measurement and Control of Energy Systems D, Lecture, 2.9.2024-22.11.2024

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 equipment
  • 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
