Third Day:

Visit the Energy Department and the Laboratory of energy FCLab in UTBM

UTBM has four specialities in Energy department:

Production of Electrical Energy (PEE)

Electrical Energy Conversion and transport (RCEE)

Electronics and Embedded Systems (ESE)

Intelligent Buildings and Efficient Electricity (BIEE)

Training aims:

The Energy Department promotes a systemic vision and thus covers the entire energy chain:

• Design and engineering of energy systems
• Production and transmission of energy whether in the form of electricity,
• Hydrogen, of fossil or renewable origin
• The various uses of energy in housing, transport and industry

Engineering students will be able to approach, in real project leaders, energy in terms of innovation, market and services.

The key elements of this training, integrating technical, economic, regulatory, environmental and societal constraints will be:

• The control of production processes of storage technologies
• The management of the energy management of hybrid systems integrating technical constraints,
• Economic, regulatory, societal and environmental.
