Learning outcomes |
UC consists of two modules:
Module 1 – Thermal Energy Systems
deepen the concepts of applied thermodynamics for the energy and economic analysis of industrial thermal energy production systems. Economic analysis of energy efficiency projects will be conducted. Students should become familiar with the main components and be able to describe and analyze processes in steam turbine power plants, gas turbines, and combined cycles. Additionally, they will explore cogeneration technologies and calculate their performance parameters.
Module 2 – Electrical Energy Systems
This module focuses on acquiring knowledge about the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy from a modern sustainable development perspective. Competencies include: identifying energy sources and discussing their importance; understanding energy conversion processes (both renewable and non-renewable); and recognizing the organizational structures of the electricity market.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching consists of two classes a week, each lasting 2 hours. One is theoretical, aimed at imparting knowledge, and the other is theoretical-practical, focused on solving practical exercises. The teaching methodology involves problem-based learning where concepts are presented and analyzed using practical examples. Students are encouraged to learn during classes and autonomously, using teaching resources.
Assessment is continuous and separate for each module.
Module 1:
Cfreq1=a written frequency test (90%).
Module 1 classification (Cfinal1) = 90% (Cfreq1 or Exam) + 10% TP, valid for all periods.
Module 2:
Cfreq2 = Written exam (50%)
PT (505) = 1 practical assignment (30%) and presentation (20%).
Module 2 classification (Cfinal2) = 50% (Cfreq2 or Exam) + 50% PT, valid for all periods.
Exam(s) taken separately for both modules.
Passing the course requires a mark of 9.5 out of 20 in each module.
Question time: Tuesday, 3pm-5pm (Mohammadmahdi), Wednesday, 2pm-4pm (Gerardo Osório)
