/Energy Systems Analysis/

For:   ENV  

 

Prel. scheduled hours:
Rec. self-study hours: 160

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Environmental Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The aim of this course is to present different computerized tools for analysing energy systems. Industrial energy systems, buildings energy systems, municipal energy system and national energy systems will be analysed from a system perspective. Environmental and economical impacts of the analysed energy systems will covered. The most important intellectual development a student will undertake is:
  • Use different computer programs and models for energy systems analysis
  • The principal details in the computer programs
  • Analyse the output data from the programs
  • Find the limitations and prerequisites when using the programs


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TMES12 Energy Systems

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Building energy systems, Industrial ecology, Industrial energy systems, Integrated management systems, Impact assessment and project appraisal, International energy markets, Resource efficient products.

Organisation:
The course is given in the form of lectures, tutorials and laboratory work

Course contents:
The course includes lectures of different computer programs for energy system analysis. The student learns about time segments, size of geographical areas, and different parts of societal sectors. A number of models are dealt with e.g.:
  • Linear programming models for large scale energy systems
  • Programs for energy systems in buildings
  • Computerised aid when dealing with electricity trade


Course literature:
The course literature will be available on Blackboard
