Intro
Energy technology is a broad field that can encompass several topics such as different types of power plants, energy efficiency and services, energy conversion, energy infrastructure and storage technologies, sustainable energy and renewable energy. The course provides a good overview of different energy sources with a focus on renewable energy resources and how they are converted into power or thermal energy using different technologies.
Content
The course covers various energy sources including conventional fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, and their impacts on the environment. The course also provides a review of applied thermal sciences that is needed to study renewable energy systems. It then covers the main renewable energy sources and their thermal and power applications.
Learning outcome
The course will give students a broad understanding of energy resources (both fossil and renewable-based), and their positive and negative impacts on the environment. Students will gain an understanding of how thermal energy sciences (such as thermodynamics and fluid mechanics) is used in practical contexts and how to perform simple analyses. Students will get an overview of technologies that are used for power and thermal energy production from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, water, geothermal, and biomass resources.

This course has continuous assessment consisting of a written exam (60%) and portfolio (40%), where the sum constitutes the final grade in the course. Both parts of the assessment must be passed in order to get a final grade.
The written exam is conducted digitally on campus.
The portfolio consists of 2-3 assignments. The assignments are assessed collectively and given a common grade.
No re-sit opportunities are offered for the portfolio. Students who do not pass the portfolio can retake it the next time the course is held.
Method of work
Lectures, group works, support and calculation lectures, and submission of mandatory exercises.

Emneevaluering
The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
