COURSE TITLE: Hydrogen Network Part I
Lecturers:
Christian Beauger
and Alain Thorel
Jolanta swiatowska
Duration: 2 weeks
Introduction to the Course:
In a context in full evolution, hydrogen as an energy carrier allows the use of various primary energy sources that can be continuous (biomass, nuclear,...) or discontinuous (wind or photovoltaic energy). This gas can be produced from a large variety of processes and used in combustion engines or in fuel cells. Following these considerations, this course provides the main aspects of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, distribution and use, hydrogen economy, hydrogen chemical risks and energy recovery to the students.
Course Aims:
The aims of this Course are to:
Study Hydrogen production, Hydrogen storage and distribution, Hydrogen energy applications, Combustion of hydrogen gas mixtures, Hydrogen use in fuel cells, Chemical risks and accidental combustion processes, Economics.
Develop skills to manage and perhaps use the hydrogen network in the future.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this course the student will have acquired a lot of skills on practical and theoretical aspects of the hydrogen network, and on the fundamentals of fuel cells, including basic materials science that would allow them to understand how electrochemical devices such PEMFC or SOFC are fabricated and optimized.

Teaching Methods:
Lectures and tutorials
Lectures:
The lectures will introduce the main aspects of hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, hydrogen combustion, hydrogen use in fuel cells, and the chemical risks and energy recovery associated with it. Regarding fuel cell, lectures will give a extensive survey of the most mature devices (PEMFC and SOFC), including the necessary thermodynamics, electrochemistry and materials science basics concept on which these devices are based.
Exercises:
Exercises will give the students the necessary training to tackle practically all the notions developed in the lectures. They will give them an opportunity to apply and understand theory, to solve practical problems and make advanced calculations.

Assessment:
For weeks 3 and 4: extremely motivated students, strongly involved in the topic. Different backgrounds and differences in culture have demanded some necessary adjustments (basic thermodynamic and electrochemistry, materials science). All the class demonstrated a very good spirit. Teaching to this class was very pleasant and rewarding considering the interest showed by the students. The session “Discussion, questions, answers, individual tutorials” was found very useful; it allowed finding out that some notions were not captured fully, and therefore recovery actions could take place successfully before the exam. It is the teachers’ feeling that this course was very fruitful for both parties, students and teachers, and has added a brick to the construction of a mutual better understanding of both Chinese and European cultures in the frame of a common interest for developing renewable energy resources.
Examination:
For weeks 3 and 4: the exam is based on 4 courses questions of increasing difficulty, and on 2 numerical exercises. All the questions were evoked during the lectures. Cross-checking the responses to the courses questions and exercises should allow the evaluators to easily detect whether the notions developed during the courses were captured. Some questions are quite easy so that the students should tackle the more difficult ones with more confidence. The spirit of the exam is not to sanctioning the students, but rather to help them developing and enlightening their reasoning.
