Intended learning outcomes

The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge about systems and system related approaches. After completing the course the student should be able to:

  • understand the importance of the concept of energy system,
  • understand the basics of a system-based approach.
  • show knowledge of the factors controlling the energy system's direction.
  • show knowledge of energy resources
  • describe the system conceptual approaches to combustion technologies, nuclear and renewable energy technologies
  • desvribe the different development paths for future energy system

Course content

The course consists of five modules:
Module 1 - Background to the analysis of energy systems, system approach to energy supply and energy use, tools to analyze energy systems and economic tools for evaluating energy systems.
Module 2 - Climate change and the availability of fossil fuels. Module 2 also deals with systems perspectives on energy supply and energy use: System view and System boundaries and its influence on climate.
Module 3 - Energy Supply Systems for electricity, heat and cooling production / distribution. It also includes different types of renewable energy, non-renewable energy.
Module 4 - Energy for transportation, and system perspectives on transport energy. Module 4 also deals with the building sectors' energy system.
Module 5 - Design of future energy system.
