General description

Nowadays everyone of us has heard about renewable energy plants (unless some BEST members are hermits living on high mountain...that'd be cool but unlikely!), few people know how

they're implemented into the power distribution network and what measures are needed so that all that nature-respectful energy doesn't get wasted.

We'll explore various green energy sources, how a single power station works, its performances and its limits.

Then the course will get to its core : smart grids. Getting a look to the bigger picture, we'll see how today and future electric power networks are designed, how they're supported by powerful informatic tools and how everything, from an house to an electric car to an eolic wheel, works together to get the BEST use of energy!

Are you ready for use energies in a smart way?

Are you ready for feel the atmospehre of the most beautiful city in the world?

Are you ready for have animal parties?

Apply now....this is ROME!!!
