4 ECTS credits
110 u studietijd
Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016306ENR voor alle studenten in het 1e semester met een verdiepend master niveau.
The course is built in 2 parts. In part I, the basic concepts of electrochemical devices for energy production and storage (i.e. thermodynamics, kinetics, characteristics) are discussed. The different types of devices (e.g. primary batteries, secondary batteries, fuel cells, capacitors) are defined and their operation is discussed. In part II, the focus is on battery systems: performance, applications and circularity. Next generations are also discussed.
In the frame of the WPO part, a team of students selects a recent development in the field (free choice but after approval). The team is expected to study the selected topic using peer review journal publications, to give a poster presentation and to answer questions in a compulsory poster session.
Slides mainly based on Linden's Handbook of Batteries and journal publications
Handbooks are available for inspection
The course is designed for potential users of electrochemical energy conversion systems. It is the aim to instruct them on the basic principles of this discipline. The viewed competence is that the student acquires the necessary insights to be able to make a motivated choice between different types of batteries / fuel cells and to follow recent developments. Additionally, the student is trained in developing learning skills for self-tuition and communication skills.
In the Master of Science in Engineering: Electro-Mechanical Engineering, the course contributes to the broadening of the engineer’s view on energy production and storage. It is also included in the options of the Master of Science in Engineering: Chemistry and Materials.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes.
Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).
Can correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper.
Can present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.
Can collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team.
Can work in an industrial environment with attention to safety, quality assurance, communication and reporting.
