Intensive Programme 2014
"Perspectives for the development of low-power systems using biomass in the context of the EU energy policy for the Central European region"

Participating university

Technical University KoĹĄice, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, Slovakia
WrocĹaw University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Poland

Objectives of the IP

The IP course familiarizes students with the complex issue of the biomass utilization for power and heat production in low-power systems, and to train future experts who will be able to deal with the new situation in power industry in Central Europe . The special emphasis is placed on co-combustion of biomass in small power boilers, its environmental aspects and economical influences on local energy and heat production market. The teachers and experts from enterprises will familiarize the students with the current situation, experience and the latest trends in above topics.

The duration of the intensive courses is 10 working days.

IP harmonogram

The main aims of the intensive programme are: an integration of a European academic centres in order to discuss current problems of reduction of CO2 emission by co-combustion of biomass in low-power systems supporting professional power engineering sector, exchanging experiences from the fields of new power engineering technologies and selected issues related to environmental protection as well as enhancing the qualifications of graduates.

The intensive program contributes to the exchange of academic staff experiences from the field of widely understood power engineering sector with the biomass production and utilization aspects among countries of Central European region ( Czech Republic , Poland and Slovak Republic ). Moreover, development of cooperation among partner institutions leads to increase of studentsâ and teachersâ mobility.

Target groups

The target participants in the IPs are MA or BA students. The courses are open to PhD students too. 20 students from partner universities and 10 students from the UWB take participation on the IP. As English language for communication and teaching materials is used, the courses help to improve language skills of both students and staff.

Outputs of the IP

At the end of the course the IP proceedings is published. The proceedings contains the teaching materials, papers by some of the teaching staff, and also the best student projects carried out during the IP. The proceedings is structured in a way that will enable students at different levels (BA, MA, PhD) to find the information corresponding with their level of understanding the presented topic. All materials are written in English, and are available not only to the partner institutions but also to other institutions and companies that are interested in the topic of the IP.

CĂle projektu

CĂlem projektu je seznĂĄmit studenty s problematikou vyuĹžĂvĂĄnĂ biomasy pro vĂ˝robu elektrickĂŠ a tepelnĂŠ energie v malĂ˝ch energetickĂ˝ch jednotkĂĄch, a vychovat budoucĂ odbornĂky, kteĹĂ se budou zabĂ˝vat novou situacĂ v energetickĂŠm prĹŻmyslu stĹedoevropskĂŠho regionu. ZvlĂĄĹĄtnĂ dĹŻraz je kladen na spoluspalovĂĄnĂ biomasy v kotlĂch malĂ˝ch vĂ˝konĹŻ, vlivu na ĹživotnĂŠ prostĹedĂ a ekonomickĂ˝ch vlivĹŻ na lokĂĄlnĂ trh s elektĹinou a teplem. UÄitelĂŠ a odbornĂci z praxe seznĂĄmĂ studenty se souÄasnĂ˝m stavem, zkuĹĄenostmi a nejnovÄjĹĄĂmi trendy.

IntenzivnĂ vĂ˝ukovĂ˝ kurz trvĂĄ 1o pracovnĂch dnĹŻ.

Harmonogram IntenzivnĂho programu

HlavnĂmi cĂli intenzivnĂho programu jsou: integrace akademickĂ˝ch center za ĂşÄelem diskuze aktuĂĄlnĂch problĂŠmĹŻ tĂ˝kajĂcĂ se sniĹžovĂĄnĂ emisĂ CO2 prostĹednictvĂm spoluspalovĂĄnĂ biomasy jednotkĂĄch malĂ˝ch vĂ˝konĹŻ, podpora energetickĂŠho sektoru, vĂ˝mÄna zkuĹĄenostĂ na poli novĂ˝ch energetickĂ˝ch technologiĂ a technologiĂ ochrany ĹživotnĂho prostĹedĂ.

SpoleÄnÄ pĹipravenĂ˝ a zrealizovanĂ˝ intenzivnĂ kurz takĂŠ napomĂĄhĂĄ vĂ˝mÄnÄ zkuĹĄenostĂ akademickĂ˝ch pracovnĂkĹŻ z regionu stĹednĂ Evropy v oblasti vyuĹžitĂ biomasy a jejĂ produkce. VzĂĄjemnĂĄ spoluprĂĄce mezi partnerskĂ˝mi institucemi dĂĄle napomĂĄhĂĄ k zvĂ˝ĹĄenĂ mobility studentĹŻ i akademickĂ˝ch pracovnĂkĹŻ.

CĂlovĂŠ skupiny

IntenzivnĂho programu se ĂşÄastnĂ studenti bakalĂĄĹskĂŠho a magisterskĂŠho studia. KurzĹŻ se takĂŠ mohou ĂşÄastnit studenti doktorskĂŠho studia. Programu se ĂşÄastnĂ 20 zahraniÄnĂch studentĹŻ z partnerskĂ˝ch univerzit a 10 studentĹŻ ZÄU. ProtoĹže je vĂ˝uka vedena v cizĂm jazyce (anglicky) s vyuĹžitĂm cizojazyÄnĂ˝ch vĂ˝ukovĂ˝ch materiĂĄlĹŻ, kurz napomĹŻĹže zĂşÄastnÄnĂ˝m studentĹŻm a vyuÄujĂcĂm zlepĹĄit si svĂŠ jazykovĂŠ znalosti.

VĂ˝stupy

Po skonÄenĂ kurzu je vydĂĄn sbornĂk obsahujĂcĂ vĂ˝ukovĂŠ materiĂĄly, pĹĂspÄvky nÄkterĂ˝ch vyuÄujĂcĂch a takĂŠ nejlepĹĄĂ studentskĂŠ projekty vypracovanĂŠ bÄhem intenzivnĂho programu. VĹĄechny pĹĂspÄvky jsou v anglickĂŠm jazyce. SbornĂk je dostupnĂ˝ nejen partnerskĂ˝m institucĂm, ale takĂŠ ostatnĂm institucĂm, kterĂŠ se zajĂmajĂ o danou problematiku.
