Background

Digital technology and globalization are transforming businesses. Everything is being called into question: strategies, management, organizations, ways of designing, manufacturing, and selling products or services, information and communication systems, and more. This context of the preeminence of the intangible, due to the rise of digital technologies, and of expanded competition is forcing companies to increase their agility and speed and to constantly adapt. They can only succeed in these transformations by opening up to their customers, their employees, their ecosystems, and innovation.

The digital revolution is a major upheaval for individuals, businesses, and society as a whole: nothing and no one is immune to it. It must be taken into account in university education, particularly for the engineers of tomorrow.

In the field of engineering, the challenge is enormous. Digital technology is revolutionizing technical activities, some of which are highly specialized, in areas such as materials, transformation processes, structures, systems, systems of systems, etc.

But digital technology is also revolutionizing management and working methods. It is transforming product sales into service sales. It focuses on usage. For example, equipment manufacturers no longer sell landing gear, but a number of successful landings.

Tomorrow, in order to lead and make decisions, engineers—our engineers—will need to understand all aspects of the digital revolution.

And they will have to reconcile deterministic, well-founded models applied to measurable, repeatable, and controllable realities with practices derived from agile methods (test and learn, minimum viable product, short iterations, etc.) in order to cope with an environment that has become volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous.

The program we offer aims to prepare students, future technicians, and managers for the technological, human, organizational, and societal challenges of digital transformation.

Objectives

Bring future engineers to a level of expertise that enables them to make relevant decisions in response to system design problems where energy efficiency is a particular focus.

Based on an analysis and energy assessment, they will be able to propose effective, economically viable solutions that lead to a reduction in primary energy consumption and a decrease in environmental impact. They will acquire skills in understanding energy issues and implementing efficient, innovative, renewable, and low-carbon energy solutions, from mastering technology choices to implementation.

The scientific and technological approach acquired by students is inseparable from a thorough understanding of the global energy context. That is why a significant portion of the curriculum is devoted to the global geopolitical context and the physical, economic, and social structure of energy flows.

Engineers specializing in " Energy Issues and Low-Carbon Systems Engineering" have the following specific skills:

• Select and size an energy production or storage system based on multiple constraints.
• Managing industrial and technological projects, R&D and design in the field of energy efficiency.
• Be involved in defining the strategic priorities of private and public companies in the energy and environmental sectors.
• Create and develop innovative businesses and activities.
• Carry out technological, economic, strategic, and forward-looking monitoring in sectors of the future.

Specificity: 2 possible courses of study

This training can be carried out:

• Under standard student status.
• In the form of a 12-month professional training contract.
  During this period, the learner is therefore employed by a company (at a minimum of 80% of the minimum wage) and alternates between periods at the School and in the company.

Program

• Module 1 (50 hours): Building an energy policy

What are the objectives in terms of the economic, legal, and societal context?

The most comprehensive presentation possible of the environment in which energy-related issues arise:
• History of energy use, terrestrial energy potential, global geopolitical context, energy outlook
• Energy production and distribution (overview of production sources, transport, and energy networks)
• Regulation and deregulation of the energy market (economic aspects)
• Legislative and regulatory framework
• Biodiversity and climate (environmental, societal, and sociological impact),
• Management of major energy projects
• Scientific controversy (introduction to the scientific method, rhetoric, structuring of arguments and debates)
• Life cycle analysis

• Module 2 (50 hours): Increasing Energy Efficiency: Design Strategy

How can we achieve our goals?

In this second module, the focus will be on methodology, or how to approach an energy problem in general, the development of the main energy production and storage systems, or an energy efficiency issue in a project.
How to use a given problem to identify the elements that will best address the system's energy issues. The skills acquired in the first and second years will be fully utilized here to fuel the discussion.

• Means of energy production and storage,
Operating principles, advantages/disadvantages, performance, scientific challenges and obstacles, implementation strategy. Targeted systems (renewable or non-renewable): wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric, nuclear, biomass power plants.
• Energy audits,
Analyzing facilities or systems to determine energy saving potential, using methods and means appropriate to the situation (urban complex, premises, manufacturing process, machine, component). The analysis of solutions includes a life cycle analysis.
• Energy efficiency
Based on a situation assessed by an audit, develop a solution to optimize the energy efficiency of the analyzed system based on a technical and economic analysis, from a range of possible solutions.
• Renewable and decarbonized energy.
Particular emphasis is placed on renewable energy solutions with a reduced impact (particularly in terms of carbon), considering the major challenges of climate change and resource supply issues.

• Module 3 (50 hours): Integrating new energies: optimization strategies

Focus on four technologies and themes.

In the first module, the problem was presented and contextualized in terms of energy, economics, society, and the environment.
In the second module, learners acquired the tools they need to structure their thinking and guide their decision-making in the search for greater energy efficiency and the most appropriate energy solution for their objectives.

In this final module, the focus will be more specifically on innovative renewable energy installations, which are currently experiencing strong growth.
The aim is to provide students with the knowledge they need to describe, model, control, integrate, and finally test and measure these specific renewable energy installations. This module also provides an understanding of the technical and scientific details of energy systems in general.

Starting in 2022, three topics will be addressed in particular. They are directly related to the industrial research and development work conducted by the teams of teacher-researchers. These topics are the building blocks of the Lispen laboratory in Aix-en-Provence.

• Photovoltaics.
After a brief overview of the physical phenomenon of photovoltaics, the course will focus more specifically on the choice of panel type and their integration. This requires mastery of a wide range of aspects, from knowledge and determination of supporting structures to energy production management.

• Cogeneration.
This is currently a neglected area of electricity and heat production in France. The solutions studied range from micro-power plants on the scale of individual homes to units of several megawatts, all of which contribute to a significant increase in the energy efficiency of the electricity production process.

• Fuel cells (hydrogen).
Hydrogen is an important storage vector that can overcome the intermittency issues associated with the development of renewable energy sources. Using an electrolyzer, electrical energy can be converted into hydrogen that can be stored and reused later in the form of electricity via a fuel cell. These technologies therefore represent one of the solutions to the necessary transition of our energy production methods. The focus will be on their technical, industrial, and economic aspects, but also on the medium/long-term prospects for this vector and solutions for producing "green" hydrogen.

• Microgrids.
A microgrid is a system that combines energy production, storage, and distribution. Used particularly in isolated locations, they enable partial or complete autonomy for a region and control over its technologies and performance indicators (energy, environmental, economic, and societal). Through economies of scale, they can be generalized to regional energy planning and can be used to simulate the use of different energy carriers and means of production throughout the day. The focus will be on electrical microgrids.
