FORMATIVE OBJECTIVES:
The course aims to give the students fundamental concepts and applicative knowledge of hydrogen technologies, covering all the steps of the value chain: production, storage and final use. Both conventional and innovative technologies are discussed to give the students the basic skills required to work in the hydrogen sector.
In particular, at the end of the course the student is expected to have the following knowledge:
- knowledge of hydrogen production systems
- knowledge of hydrogen storage systems
- knowledge of hydrogen final uses
Furthermore, at the end of the course the student is expected to have the following skills:
- ability to outline schemes and processes of thermochemical hydrogen production plants
- ability to choose renewable hydrogen production systems based on the type of application
- ability to choose hydrogen storage systems based on the production method and final use
- ability to analyze hydrogen final-use scenarios


EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS:
Knowledge and understanding:
Understand the fundamental principles associated with the techno-economic analysis of hydrogen systems.
Applying knowledge and understanding:
By carrying out case studies, the student will be encouraged to develop an applicative skills on the methodologies and techniques acquired.
Making judgments:
Being able to apply the acquired knowledge to solve simple problems in the techno-economic analysis of hydrogen systems.
Communication skills:
Knowing how to explain, both in written and oral form, the problem and possible solutions to simple situations concerning the techno-economic analysis of hydrogen systems.
Learning skills:
Knowing how to collect information from textbooks and other material for the autonomous solution of problems related to the verification of hydrogen systems.
