Intended learning outcomes

The overall aim of the course is to provide a systems perspective on energy supply and energy demand in different types of industrial systems with focus on energy efficiency. After completion of the course the student is to be able to:

  • Describe, explain and illustrate overall structure and development of industrial energy use and the influence on its environment
  • Describe and discuss the function of different industrial processes and their energy use
  • Describe and critically use unit process categorization of energy demand
  • Critically review and carry out industrial energy audits
  • Describe and reflect upon different types of measures and their potentials within industrial energy systems
  • Describe and reflect upon systems consequences from measures on the supply and demand side within industrial energy systems

Course content

Structure, development and environmental consequences of industrial energy use, industrial use within Sweden and globally, analysis and estimations of potentials for energy efficiency measures, unit processes, production and support processes, technology development, energy economizing, energy effectiveness, industrial clusters, energy storage, load management, fuel conversion, energy audits, energy management

Teaching and working methods

The course is given in the form of tutorials, seminars and computer lab. In connection to some learning moments there are also compulsory tasks.
