| 227-0530-00L | Optimization in Energy Systems | W | 6 KP | 4G | G. Hug | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After this class, the students should have a good handle on how to approach a research question which involves optimization and implement and solve the resulting optimization problem by choosing appropriate tools. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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. On the theoretical side, the formulation and solving of unconstrained and constrained optimization problems, multi-time step optimization, stochastic optimization including probabilistic constraints and decomposed optimization (Lagrangian and Benders decomposition) are discussed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Topics covered: origin, production, processing, and resource economics of carbon-based resources; climate change in science & policies; CC(U)S systems in power & industrial plants; CO2 transport & storage. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The lecture aims to introduce carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) systems, the technical solutions developed so far, and current research questions. This is done in the context of the origin, production, processing, and economics of carbon-based resources and of climate change issues. After this course, students are familiar with relevant technical and non-technical issues related to the use of carbon resources, climate change, and CCUS as a mitigation measure. The class will be structured in 2 hours of lecture and one hour of exercises/discussion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The transition to a net-zero society is associated with major challenges in all sectors, including energy, transportation, and industry. In the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C, rapid emission reduction and negative emission technologies are crucial to limiting global warming to below 1.5 °C. Therefore, this course illuminates carbon capture, utilization, and storage as a potential set of technologies for emission mitigation and for generating negative emissions. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | An introduction to energy economics and policy that covers the following topics: energy demand, investment in energy efficiency, investment in renewables, energy markets, market failures and behavioral anomalies, market-based and non-market based energy and climate policy instruments in industrialized and developing countries. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The students will develop an understanding of economic principles and tools necessary to analyze energy issues and to understand energy and climate policy instruments. Emphasis will be put on empirical analysis of energy demand and supply, market failures, behavioral anomalies, energy and climate policy instruments in industrialized and developing countries, and investments in renewables and in energy-efficient technologies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The course provides an introduction to energy economics principles and policy applications. The first part of the course will introduce the microeconomic foundation of energy demand and supply as well as market failures and behavioral anomalies. In a second part, we introduce the concept of investment analysis (such as the NPV) in the context of renewable and energy-efficient technologies. In the last part, we use the previously introduced concepts to analyze energy policies: from a government perspective, we discuss the mechanisms and implications of market oriented and non-market oriented policy instruments as well as applications in developing countries. Throughout the entire course, we combine the material with insights from current research in energy economics. This combination will enable students to understand standard scientific literature in the field of energy economics and policy. Moreover, the class aims to show students how to relate current issues in the energy and climate spheres that influence industrialized and developing countries to insights from energy economics and policy. Course evaluation: at the end of the course, there will be a written exam covering the topics of the course. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 363-1115-00L | Energy Innovation and Management  | W | 3 KP | 2V | G. Mavromatidis, B. Probst, A. Stephan | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Fundamental changes in the energy sector, such as more decentralized energy production, challenge the existing business models of organizations such as utilities or technology providers. This course adopts quantitative and qualitative approaches to explore innovation and managerial, organizational and decision-making aspects in the energy sector for the transition to a low-carbon energy system. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After completing the course, students will be able to: • Understand the challenges occurring in the energy sector and that companies (in or relying on the energy sector) are facing • Understand the basics of managerial/organizational aspects in the energy sector with a particular focus on energy innovations • Identify and use the appropriate quantitative energy tools for strategic decision-making in the energy sector | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | This course explores innovation and managerial, organizational and decision-making aspects in the energy sector for the transition towards a low-carbon energy system. The course is split in two parts with a quantitative and a qualitative focus, respectively. In the first part, students will learn about aspects such as the financial valuation of energy investment decisions and the ways that quantitative energy models of different types can be used to assist with strategic decision-making in the energy sector. 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. This part of the course will be guided as an interactive case study. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
