Language of instruction Italian
Contents The global energy-environment framework. The traditional energy sources. Energy markets. Interactions between energy systems and the environment. Energy planning.
Reference texts Lecture notes will be distributed by the teacher.
Educational objectives The primary objective of the module is to provide students with the tools to learn about issues related to the traditional energy sources, their impact on the environment and how to manage their planning.
Prerequisites Applied physics.
Teaching methods The course is organised with classroom lectures on all treated subjects. Furthermore, interactive moments in groups will be organised for a better understanding of the dynamics linked to energy policy issues.
Other information Attendance to the classes is optional but strongly advised.
Learning verification modality The exam is oral and it consists of a discussion of no longer than 30 minutes.
The exam aims to ascertain: i) the level of
knowledge of the theoretical-methodological contents of the course ii) the level of
competence in exposing the issues related to energy supply iii) autonomy of judgment in proposing the most appropriate approach for each area. The oral test also aims to verify the student's ability to express the themes proposed by the Commission, and to support a dialectical relationship during the discussion.
