System Integration Project

QUARTER 2

A series of lectures will provide you with the background knowledge of electricity and heating systems necessary to complete the project.
The lectures cover the following topics:

• Fundamentals of power engineering.

• Distributed renewable electricity generation (solar and wind).

• Battery energy storage.

• Fundamentals of geothermal heat generation.

• Fundamentals of heat storage.

• Economic and environmental aspects of energy systems.

QUARTER 3

You will work in groups to design and model an integrated energy (electricity + heat) system.
The project is divided into three phases:

1. Design and modelling of the electricity and heat generation sub-systems.

2. Design and modelling of the electricity and heat storage sub-systems.

3. Integration of the sub-systems and design of a system control strategy.

QUARTER 4

You will perform an economic and environmental analysis of the system and prepare a scientific report summarising the project's main results.
