Aims
- This module is designed solely for students studying on the Master of Energy Systems Management.
- To provide an overview and describe the characteristics of the Internet of Everything (IoE) as relevant to energy systems.
- To explain the working principles of sensors, embedded systems, energy management, data handling approaches and networking protocols relevant to the Internet of Everything.
- To explain the technical, economical and ethical challenges associated with the development of the IoE within energy systems.
Content
- Sensor technologies for energy system measurements
- Networking protocols
- Embedded processors
- Power management techniques and technology
- Data processing
- Economic and ethical implications of the IoE within energy systems.
Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge:
- A knowledge of benefits and limitations of technologies currently used or being developed for the IoE for energy system measurement, operation and management.
- An appreciation of the requirements for low power operation and the impact on the associated electronic system design.
- An understanding of relevant sensor, embedded processing, networking and power management technologies.
- A knowledge of trends and developments for IoE in energy systems including the ethical implications.
Subject-specific Skills:
- An ability to draw together knowledge of current technology, design and commercial practice to provide innovative solutions.
- An ability to perform critical assessment and review of systems using specialised and advanced technical and professional skills.
Key Skills:
- Capacity for independent self-learning within the bounds of professional practice.
- Specialised numerical skills appropriate to an engineer.
- Mathematics relevant to the application of advanced engineering concepts.
Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- The module content is delivered in lectures.
- Students can make use of staff 'Tutorial Hours' to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff. These are sign up sessions which will be available to the students.
- The coursework assessment requires students to evaluate and communicate technical IoE concepts in the context of energy systems.
