	Objectives
	THE OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE "SMART CIRCUITS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY" IS TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE ON OPERATION AND USE OF CIRCUITS FOR EXPLOITING RENEWABLE ENERGY ALSO INCLUDING ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE UNITS. THE FIRST PART IS FOCUSED ON MODELS FOR SIMULATING GRID CONNECTED AND STAND ALONE SYSTEMS. THEN, CIRCUITS USED FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONS WILL BE TREATED AND AN ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET WILL BE DONE. SIMULATION AND CONTROL ISSUES, ALSO BASED ON EMBEDDED SYSTEMS, WILL BE DISCUSSED. THE COURSE IS 6 ECTS AND IS GIVEN IN ENGLISH. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: - MODELING, SIMULATION AND SIZING OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS - MODELING, SIMULATION AND SIZING OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS - CONTROL AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT OF SMART GRIDS INCLUDING RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE UNITS. APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: - TO SIMULATE AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INCLUDING RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATORS AND ELECTRICAL STORAGE SYSTEMS - TO SIZE THE PHOTOVOLTAIC SOURCE FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION - TO SIZE THE BATTERY FOR A SPECIFIC APPLICATION - TO SELECT THE INTERFACING CIRCUITS ON THE BASIS OF THE DATA SHEETS VALUES - TO DESIGN SIMPLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES - TO IMPLEMENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES WITH A COMPUTER OR AN EMBEDDED SYSTEM. MAKING JUDGEMENTS TO BE ABLE TO USE THE MORE SUITABLE METHODS FOR THE MANAGEMENTS OF A RENEWABLE ENERGY CIRCUIT AND SYSTEM. COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO SHOW, IN WRITTEN FORM, CLEARLY AND SHORTLY A PROBLEM. TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE OBJECTIVES, THE PROCEDURE AND THE RESULTS OF A SIMULATION DONE. ABILITÀ COMUNICATIVE SAPER DESCRIVERE, IN FORMA SCRITTA, IN MODO CHIARO E SINTETICO UN PROBLEMA ED ESPORRE ORALMENTE, CON PROPRIETÀ DI LINGUAGGIO, GLI OBIETTIVI, IL PROCEDIMENTO E I RISULTATI DELLE ELABORAZIONI EFFETTUATE. LEARNING SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ONES PRESENTED IN THE COURSE AND TO BE ABLE TO STUDY IN DEPTH THE TOPICS TREATED IN THE COURSE BY USING TEXTBOOKS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ONES PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER.

	Teaching Methods
	THEORETICAL LECTURES (28 HOURS), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (16 HOURS), BY USING THE PERSONAL COMPUTER FOR SIMULATION PURPOSES, AND LABORATORY (16 HOURS) WITH EXPERIMENTAL GROUP ACTIVITIES. LECTURES COVER ALL THE COURSE TOPICS. EXERCISES CONCERN MAINLY SIMULATIONS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TOPICS, ESPECIALLY BY WORKING IN MATLAB-SIMULINK. DURING LABORATORY ACTIVITIES THE STUDENTS WILL APPLY METHODS LEARNED ABOUT MODELING, CHARACTERIZATION AND CONTROL TO THE AIM OF PRODUCING AND ANALYZING EXPERIMENTAL DATA THAT ARE ACQUIRED THROUGH THE LABORATORY INSTRUMENTATION THAT IS AVAILABLE IN THE “LABORATORY OF POWER ELECTRONICS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY”.

	Verification of learning
	THE FINAL EXAM HAS A DURATION OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE STUDENT HAS TO PRODUCE A 15 MINUTES PRESENTATION, FOLLOWED BY A 15 MINUTES DISCUSSION, CONCERNING THE SOLUTION OF THE ENGINEERING PROBLEM THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO HIM/HER DURING THE LECTURES AND THE LABORATORY ACTIVITIES BY THE PROFESSOR. THE EXAM ALLOWS TO VERIFY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING, ABILITY OF APPLYING THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, PRESENTATION AND COMMUNICATION ABILITIES, CAPACITY OF ELABORATING NEW SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS BY USING CIRCUITS, CONTROL METHODS AND ALGORITHMS STUDIED DURING THE COURSE. THE ABILITY OF PRESENTING RESULTS IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE FINAL EVALUATION. THE FINAL MARK IS BETWEEN 18 AND 30 CUM LAUDE. THE MINIMUM (18) IS GIVEN TO THE STUDENT SHOWS A WEAK ABILITY OF APPLYING METHODS AND A LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROPERTIES OF COMPONENTS AND CIRCUITS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. THE MAXIMUM (30) IS GIVEN WHEN THE STUDEN SHOWS AN IN DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODS AND WHEN HE/SHE IS ABLE TO APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE EFFECTIVELY AND ACCURATELY SUPPORTING THE CHOICES DONE. THE LAUDE IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE SHOWS EXTRAORDINARY KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS TREATED IN THE COURSE, FULL OF DETAILS, AND HE/SHE IS ABLE TO ELABORATE IDEAS AND PUT TOGETHER THE CONCEPTS IN CONTEXTS THAT ARE EVEN DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ONES DESCRIBED IN THE COURSE.
