ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The first edition of the Second Level Master’s degree “PoliTech Lab: Innovation in Electrical Systems for Energy”, promoted by Terna in collaboration with the Polytechnics of Bari, Milan and Turin. The Master is the first project carried out within the Polytechnic Network of High Competence, born in April to formalize the collaboration between the Group led by Giuseppina Di Foggia and the three Athens.
“The Master that we wish today represents a unique formative model because for the first time, at the initiative of Terna, the three Italian Polytechnics have realized a joint postgraduate course – said Giuseppina Di Foggia, CEO and General Manager of Terna -. In a context in which the energy and digital transition requires increasingly specialized professionalism, this project allows to combine academic knowledge with Terna’s distinctive skills. This collaboration is a virtuous example of how to deal with the challenges that the current context poses to us and, above all, it is an opportunity for new generations to deepen their training and start a professional journey within the Group.”.
The Master “PoliTech Lab: Innovation in Electrical Systems for Energy” is also the first institutionalized formative collaboration between the three Polytechnics, represented by Umberto Fratino, Rector of the Polytechnic of Bari, by Donatella Sciuto, Rector of the Polytechnic of Milan, and by Stefano Paolo Corgnati, Rector of the Polytechnic of Turin. The postgraduate course is aimed at young people from undergraduate courses to engineering, particularly from areas of electrical engineering and energy engineering.
Among the candidates for the call, 45 participants were selected, 15 for each Polytechnic, which will be formed on the main technical, economic and regulatory issues concerning electrical systems for energy, providing theoretical knowledge and the most advanced practical skills in the field. The Master will make possible the synergy between the specialist skills expressed by the three Italian Polytechnics and the distinctive skills that Terna has developed and updated for decades. The young people will be accompanied in the course by both university teachers and the Faculty Terna, composed of technical experts inside the company that for years they care for the transmission of knowledge and skills to the people of the Group. At the end of the course, the Polytechnics will give students a joint diploma between the three Academic Institutions.
The Master will explore the themes related to network modeling, management and optimization of their stability and safety, design of high voltage systems, application of power electronics and innovative machinery. Attention will also be paid to asset management in terms of reliability, maintenance, data analysis and project management. Participants will also study the main Italian and European regulations determining the legal perimeter in which Transmission System Operators (TSO) as Terna operate daily. Finally, the didactic plan provides for the teaching of the main methodologies for modelling electrical markets, which are used to manage the dispatching and balancing of energy. At the end of the training course students and students will know the electrical system and the main directions of innovation on which Terna is called to evolve the network, to transform it into the supporting infrastructure of the Italian energy transition.
The program provides a total commitment of 1,500 hours and allows the acquisition of 60 University Education Credits (CFU). The entire cost of participation is supported by the company, which also provided a scholarship for each participant. At the end of the course, the Master participants will be included in the Terna Group.
