Energy Department

Energy management (production, storage, distribution) and the efficiency of systems and machines are more than ever vital concerns and challenges for industry and individuals alike. Confronted with the possibility of the exhaustion of fossil fuel resources (oil, gas and coal), the importance of reducing energy costs, mastering consumption and using more efficient production tools, is increasing rapidly.

To face these challenges, the ECAM LaSalle Energy Pole is developing tools to improve efficiency yields and to optimise the management of alternative sources of energy.

Key words

Energy efficiency

Research

Within the LabECAM laboratory, the Energy Pole, alongside its industrial partners, is particularly well recognised for its research activities in the field of energy efficiency in the following areas:

Energy modelling of mechanical transmissions and specifically of gear transmissions
Advanced regulation techniques applied to thermal machines
Electrical energy conversion and storage modelling

This teaching and research pole has 10 permanent professors, several of whom are also contributors in international universities (Manhattan College – USA, University of Sherbrooke – Canada, the Pontifical Catholic University – Peru).

Industrial services

The Energy Pole offers the following services to industry:

Industrial R&D services (6 to 18 months): scientific and technical studies to model the physics of systems and machines in order to help improve their design and functioning.

Vocational training sessions (lasting 3 to 5 days) that allow technicians and engineers to update their knowledge of: fluid mechanics, thermal dynamics, heat transfers, and the electrotechnology of networks and machines.
