Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Fluid mechanics and heat transfer, thermodynamics, electrical engineeringIntended learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to give an understanding of energy systems from natural energy resources to the energy end use in various sectors of society. System dependencies between various sectors of society are important as are deregulations and international development of energy markets. After the course the student should:
- Have knowledge on on energy systems interrrelations
- Have knowledge on energy resources and sustainability
- Have knowledge on the development of international energy markets
- Understand the design of a heat and power plant
- Understand the development and design of national, regional and municipal energy systems
Course content
Energy system definitions, interrelations between energy systems, energy use and energy supply, resources and sustainability, renewable energy, heat generation plants, solar heating, electricity generation plants, wind and wave power, combined heat and power, heat pumps, heat distribution, electricity distribution, municipal, regional and national energy systems.
Teaching and working methods
The course is given in the form of lectures and seminars. The course also contains project work and a visit at a combined heat and power plant.
