Pachoud Alexandre Jean ,Courses
Dam engineering
Dams are paramount for human development around the world. The course is an introduction to the fascinating domain of dam engineering, from design to construction, for water storage and regulated supply, including for renewable energy generation (hydropower), flood protection and drought prevention
Hydropower schemes and pumped-storage
The course deals with the conception and design of hydraulic structures used for production and/or storage of electric energy, including pumped hydro energy storage (PHES).
We also discuss their technical/social/economical/environmental feasibility in the Swiss/European/Global energy transition.
