Description
This module will familiarise students with the fundamentals of thermal, electrical, chemical and mechanical energy systems and how energy transitions between these systems. The module will then explore the various ways of metering and recording these energy transfers and their associated metric, US and imperial units.
As motors & pumping systems are particularly relevant - the operation and management of these will be explored in detail along the principles of power factor and power factor correction.
The principles of energy management and energy management systems will be examined, particularly in the context of Irish Water.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Quantify different energy types in appropriate units
2.
Describe the various forms of energy (mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical etc) and common conversion processes between them (kinetic to electric, etc).
3.
Describe the operation of an AC induction motor and a simple pumping system and perform calculations based on the Affinity laws of pumping systems.
4.
Discuss the hierarchical principles of energy management.
5.
Conduct a brief energy survey highlighting potential for improved energy management in a practical scenario.
6.
Write report in relation to this survey suggesting improved future practice based on the principles of energy management.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered via the IT Sligo VLE platform Moodle. A range of learning activities e.g. live and recorded online lectures (via Adobe Connect), self directed and directed learning will be availble from this portal.
Moodle will be used to host all learning material for the module e.g. lecture and tutorial notes, quizzes, prerecorded videos and recordings of online lectures as well as recommended reading & supplementary resources.
Moddle will facilitate assessment needs also - via the use of online quizzes encorporating numerical, cloze and MCQ type questions. Students will upload their assignments via Moodle and detailed feedback on these will be provided using Rubrics and audio recordings which are emailed back to the students.
Module Assessment Strategies
Fianl Exam 50%
CA1 Online quiz (cloze, numeric and MCQ) 10%
CA2 Energy survey of small facility 20%
CA3 Presentation of report on energy survey 20%
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment, where relevant, will involve repeat exam and/or continious assessment element (e.g. MCQ or practical test) that provides evidence that the student has met the subject and topic learning outcomes to the required standard.
