| Inhalt | In our everyday’s life, we always try to take the decision which results in the best outcome. But how do we know what the best outcome will be? What are the actions leading to this optimal outcome? What are the constraints? These questions also have to be answered when controlling a system such as energy systems. Optimization theory provides the opportunity to find the answers by using mathematical formulation and solution of an optimization problem. The course covers various aspects of optimization with a focus on applications to energy networks. Throughout the course, concepts from optimization theory are introduced followed by practical applications of the discussed approaches. The applications are focused on the Optimal Power Flow problem which is formulated and solved to find optimal device settings in the electric power grid and other relevant energy scheduling problems.

Students will be introduced to two types of models: (1) techno-economic analyses of renewable energy generation and storage technologies, and (2) an energy market game, which simulates the behavior of utilities in an electricity market. This part of the course will include individual and group assignments. In the second part, guided by questions like “how does the energy industry change and why” or “how would you make the decision if you were the head of a utility”, the students will understand how firms manage innovations and why they can be difficult to manage even for established firms in the energy sector.

During the course, specific topics will be presented (construction technologies, environmental policies, social consequences of material use, etc.). The course aims to present sustainable options to tackle the global challenge we are facing and show that "it is not too late". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After the lecture series, the students are aware of the main challenges for the production and use of building materials. They know the different technologies/propositions available, and environmental consequence of a choice. They understand in which conditions/context one resource/technology will be more appropriate than another | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | A general presentation of the global context allows to identify the objectives that as engineer, material scientist or architect needs to achieve to create a sustainable built environment. The course is then conducted as a serie of guest lectures focusing on one specific aspect to tackle this global challenge and show that "it is not too late". The lecture series is divided as follows: - General presentation - Notion of resource depletion, resilience, criticality, decoupling, etc. - Guest lectures covering different resources and proposing different option to build or maintain a sustainable built environment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | For each lecture slides will be provided. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The lecture series will be conducted in English and is aimed at students of master's programs, particularly the departments ARCH, BAUG, ITET, MAVT, MTEC and USYS. No lecture will be given during Seminar week. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
