Learning outcome
Knowledge: Konsepts and operation of available and relevant energy storage technologies. - Comparisn tools applied in system evaluation. . various needs within energy storage. - The student has knowledge of ideal gases, partial pressures and volume calculations, as well as the gas constant. - The student knows the difference between a galvanic cell and an electrolytic cell and is familiar with the galvanic series.- The student can model electrochemical cells and derive and explain different sources of losses.
Skills: - The student can convert between equivalent units, such as volts and kWh/kg. - The student knows the difference between the reversible and the standard cell voltage and can calculate the cell potential for a cell through which a current flows. - The student has knowledge of electrochemical systems and processes and can recognize and explain the most important battery and fuel cell technologies on the market. - The student masters principles of corrosion and basic kinetics thereof.
General competence - The student can evaluate different forms of energy forms and their applications against each other. - The student is aware of which technologies dominates the field of energy storage, and can assess what kind of needs the individual technologies cover.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory calculation exercises and demonatrations. 9 out of 12 calculation exercises must be approved before the student can take the exam. The lectures will be held in Trondheim and streamed or filmed and published consecutively after each lecture.
