Objectives
This course aims to increase the students awareness about energy ressources and their management. The students form a team of engineers engaged to analyze the feasibility of an energy autonomous residential aera with zero carbon emissions. The district is powered by solar panels and a long term hydrogen storage system. In order to achieve this goal, each team has to mobilize their technical knowledges and soft skills.
