EEN-E1040 Measurement and Control of Energy Systems Introduction lecture, Sep 12 th 2016 Welcome!

Teaching staff Responsible teacher Laboratory manager Simo Kilpeläinen(Control demonstration) Other teachers Service Engineer Otto Blomstedt(Combustion engine) Project manager Ari Kankkunen(Temperature measurement) Laboratory manager Timo Laukkanen (Fixed bed dryer) Senior University Lecturer Tuomas Paloposki(Flow measurement)

Time (h) Goals After passing the course, the student knows the measurement principles of temperature, humidity, flow and other relevant quantities in energy technology is able to use regular measuring and data acquisition equipment is able to identify most important factors influencing the measurement result and measurement uncertainty is able to estimate measurement uncertainty in a quantitative manner knows which factors influence the gain and dynamics of a process and is able to tune a PID-controller

Laboratory measurements On Fridays in both fall periods Done in groups of ~6 people Measurement + written report Groups made later today Period 1 (weeks 37-41): Temperature measurement Flow measurement Period 2 (weeks 44-48): Control demonstration Device measurement (combustion engine OR fixed bed dryer) –Groups get to choose their preference

Passing the course In order to pass the course, the student needs to: participate in each of the four laboratory measurements write a scientific report from each measurement with his/her group and have the reports pass the grading pass the final exam

Absences If you can’t make it to your own group’s measurement session: Inform the teacher responsible for said measurement Inform the rest of your group Discuss with the teacher whether you can join another group as a guest at a later (or earlier) time Write the report with your own group as if you had done the measurements with them

Grading Each report is graded on a scale from 0 to 5 –Report grade is the same for the entire group –More information on report grading on the course webpage Final exam is also graded on the same scale Course grade = 0.67 * (avg of report grades) * (exam grade)

Communication Course communication will mainly be done via the MyCourses –Places and times to meet at before each measurement –Possible scheduling changes –Addendum to any course materials Some more individual topics (report feedback etc.) will be discussed over
