The main objective of this journey is to project our thinking towards a more sustainable energy future, free from high pollutant production and the negative impact of CO2. However, to achieve this dream, it is essential to start from solid foundations, from real pillars upon which to build.

How will we accomplish this?

Through five days of work. The first day will be dedicated to analyzing energy scenarios related to renewable sources. It is crucial to obtain an overview to understand which types of energy our society requires and which sources are currently employed to meet such demand.

On the second day, we will address the functioning of electrical grids, examining not only production capacity but also energy distribution and usage. We will discuss the integration of electric energy produced from renewable sources into the national system, posing the question: once produced, how and where is it used?

The third day will explore energy conversion machines, focusing particularly on wind and hydroelectric power. We will delve into these technologies in detail to understand their potential and the situations in which they can be effectively employed.

On the fourth day, we will focus on solar energy, considered an unlimited source but with limitations in its exploitation. We will discuss various factors influencing the efficiency of its use, going beyond simple issues related to weather conditions.

Finally, on the last day, we will tackle a group project. We will work together, allowing room for creativity while always maintaining the technical and scientific foundations acquired in the preceding days. Ultimately, the contributions of individual groups will be presented, highlighting the importance of synergy between technologies and skills in the search for effective solutions to energy problems.

During the morning, instructors will provide theoretical explanations, while in the afternoon, we will engage in practical activities such as workshops on wind generators, hydraulic turbines, and the analysis of the potential of energy sources in Italy.

An important part of this experience will be dedicated to the analysis of photovoltaic panels, to understand their performance in relation to environmental conditions.
