Aims
This unit aims to investigate energy management principles and techniques. The principal aim of this unit is to establish and develop understanding of energy science and its applications in industry context and to develop the ability to carry out an energy audit in the context of a plant engineering environment independently.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Appraise different types of energy sources and characterise appropriate energy sources and conversion technologies.
2.
Recognise environmental impact of different energy sources.
3.
Calculate basic parameters of energy conservation mechanical systems.
4.
Explain the concepts of energy audit and energy management.
