151-0245-00LEnergy Systems Analysis: an Introduction and Overview with Applications4 KP2V + 2UR. McKenna
KurzbeschreibungThis lecture is an introductory (advanced Bachelor or beginner Master level) course on Energy Systems Analysis. It provides students with an overview of the field and an understanding of relevant tools and methods, along with their strengths and weaknesses.
Lernziel- Analyse energy technologies with respect to different criteria/characteristics
- Discuss and debate the pros and cons of different ESA models/approaches (for specific applications)
- Explain the system-level interdependencies/interconnections within the energy system
- Evaluate the effect of uncertainties and “the human dimension” on ESA and scenarios
InhaltThe course provides an introduction and overview to the most well-established models and methods of energy systems analysis, in each case introducing students to the theory and assumptions of the method, strengths and weaknesses of the specific approach, and case studies for exemplary energy technologies and systems. The students are taught to understand and will be able to apply the basic principles of these methods in the context of targeted assignments relating to real-world energy systems.
SkriptNo but slides are provided before the lectures and videos recorded.
LiteraturWill be provided during the course.
Voraussetzungen / BesonderesNo specific prerequisities, some background in energy-related topics in the Bachelor would be beneficial.
