Descripción del proyecto
Formación innovadora de ingenieros para ciudades inteligentes
Las tecnologías urbanas inteligentes revolucionarán las ciudades de Europa. Sin embargo, utilizar dispositivos del internet de las cosas, como luces y sensores conectados, requiere interoperabilidad. Sin ella, los dispositivos y aplicaciones no se pueden comunicar ni compartir datos. Un factor esencial consiste en garantizar la interacción entre la energía eléctrica con la tecnología informática y los equipos de telecomunicaciones. Resulta urgente comprender los problemas de la compatibilidad electromagnética (conducida) y la calidad de la energía. No obstante, faltan ingenieros cualificados. El proyecto SCENT, financiado con fondos europeos, ofreció un programa de formación doctoral integrado para ingenieros altamente capacitados. El proyecto abarca metodologías para optimizar el diseño de redes de distribución dentro de edificios, plantas industriales y sistemas de transporte, además de tener en cuenta la compatibilidad y eficiencia de las redes de distribución y los sistemas electrónicos conectados.
Objetivo
The global vision of Smart and Sustainable Cities is greatly restricted by the rapid increase of interference and interoperability problems which occur through the interaction of electrical power with information technology and communications equipment. This interconnected systems-of-systems infrastructure creates a complex electromagnetic environment in which interoperability of the electronic systems has to be achieved. There is an urgent need to conduct greater understanding in Power Quality (PQ) and (conducted) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) due to the changing dynamics of the field. The main issue is the insufficient number of qualified engineers for the latest developments in smart cities, renewable generation and electric vehicles. A highly trained cadre of engineers (a new breed) is required to lead this area. To date no specific doctoral programme in this field is available in Europe resulting in well trained researchers and engineers being scarce.
SCENT will create a network to train highly skilled engineers through an integrated doctoral training program based on the essential research required in PQ and EMC that can underpin all future technological developments, strongly linked to industry, and bridging the gap between research and industry for translation of new knowledge. Designed into the project are specific innovations with methodologies to optimize the design of power distribution networks inside buildings and industrial plants, as well as transport systems, with respect to compatibility (no interference) and efficiency in the distribution networks and connected electronic systems. The partners of the network consist of leaders in these fields and relevant industrial stakeholders resulting in a unique and effective network in Europe and globally. Dissemination methods to realize optimal impact will include scientific publications, workshops, training of engineers in industry, and dissemination through newsletters, interviews, social media.
