Energies Renouvelables

Energy and Environment Program

The Energy and Environment pathway of the Master of Mechanics at Sorbonne University offers a complete master's program (M1 and M2). This pathway trains students in the fundamental transfer mechanisms encountered in energy production and conversion systems. The approach of this training is twofold: to increase fundamental knowledge and to contribute to solving major societal problems, with particular emphasis on energy and environmental transition.

The two levels M1 and M2 lead to sector-based themes in the second year, including an apprenticeship course (CFA Mécavenir - Puteaux).

We offer several thematic pathways:

  • AIR: Aerodynamics and Environmental Impact
  • CLEANER: Combustion, limitation of associated emissions, new energies and resources
  • OMEBA: Tools and methods for zero-energy buildings
  • And the OPEN course: Energy optimization and sustainable systems (learning), which will resume in semester 3 with one of the three introductory pathways AERIEN, CLEANER or OMEBA

Energy and Environment Program

General presentation

Schedules

    Objectives

    The Energy and Environment Program aims to develop expertise in the fields of energy, combustion, new energies and resources, as well as energy efficiency and conversion. This expertise will cover sectors such as land and air transport, building and housing, and industrial flows. All of these sectors have significant potential to reduce our environmental impact.

    This knowledge is provided via a common curriculum that covers aspects of modelling, simulation, experimentation and the design of innovative systems by proposing analysis, optimization and modeling tools specific to each area. This involves modeling turbulent flows, combustion and its pollutant reduction aspects, heat transfer and energy optimization ( for many energy conversion systems), while seeking to reduce the environmental footprint of the energy mix (renewable energies, fossil fuels, biofuels, geothermal, solar, etc.).
    The program employs numerous speakers from the world of research or industry through a series of seminars (EDF, CEREMA, Renault, LSCE - Lab. of Climate and Environmental Sciences, Air Liquide, ONERA ) or business-oriented courses (ONERA, IFPEN, Renault, INRAE, Heig -VD), providing the opportunity to use industrial calculation codes such as CEDRE (ONERA), Pléiades Comfie (CES - Mines de Paris), Modelica , Star CCM+ or ANSYS-Fluent.

    Organization

    (Please see below for blocks per semester)

    In the first year, the training includes units that are common to all courses of the master's degree in Mechanics (common core) and introductory units linked to the courses in M1 & M2.

    The EE course also offers apprenticeship training (OPEN Energy optimization and sustainable systems), in partnership with the CFA- Mécavenir , which is available from the first year.

    Target audience and prerequisites

    Scientific knowledge in mechanics, physics, thermodynamics and/or applied mathematics is required to be accepted into this program.

    First Year :

    • Holders of a general bachelor of Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics
    • Must have a solid background in Mechanics, Physics or Mathematics

    Second Year :

    • Holders of a Master 1 or equivalent in Energetics, Mechanics and Physics
    • Student in the final year of engineering school with training in these disciplines
    • Holders of an engineering degree with solid knowledge of Energetics, Mechanics and Physics

     

    All introductory courses take place at Sorbonne University’s Pierre and Marie Curie campus. For apprenticeship training, some of the courses are offered by the SUPII MECAVENIR apprenticeship center in Puteaux.
    An initial set of courses provides the fundamentals of mechanics (mechanics of fluids, solids, vibrations, numerical methods and signal processing) and constitutes the common base of all specialties of the SPI master.

    A second set of courses provides energy engineering tools by addressing the formalities of thermodynamics, heat, energy conversion, combustion and fluid mechanics of conversion machines. The modeling of simple and complex systems (energy converter) is based on observation, modelling, analysis and experimentation, making it possible to test the theory. This unit includes many sessions based on the use of digital tools and practical experiences.


    Finally, there are courses devoted to professional integration and developing foreign language skills, as well as a one-year internship in a company or laboratory.

    The CLEANER program (combustion, emissions control, new energies and resources) provides the knowledge necessary for energy conversion applications with high specific power (land, air and space transport; electricity and heating production based on chemical energy). The problematic scarcity of primary resources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions are also considered.

    Physics, modeling and simulation, with a focus on global energy balances for energy conversion such as alternative resources, fundamental aspects of alternative fuel  combustion, and discussions about new combustion methods, are key to the program. The training is divided between an advanced theoretical component, application via digital projects on CEDRE (ONERA), Matlab and GERRIS, and experimental projects.

    The OMEBA program (tools and methods for zero-energy buildings) concerns the building sector and thermal systems. This program provides a solid grounding in thermal engineering, enabling students to understand the problems of industrial systems in their environment. Energy optimization of buildings and systems in the light of new regulations is at the heart of scientific debate, but it is also the subject of a professional approach through the use of several software packages such as Pléiades-Comfie and Modelica.

    New approaches to designing positive-energy buildings are developed through detailed work on heating and cooling systems, and the use of renewable energies (solar, geothermal, etc.).
