Content
The course provides the students with general knowledge of the energy technologies, the effects of intermittent renewable energy sources and the integration of different technologies for flexible and low carbon energy systems. The course also gives examples how to model and simulate integrated energy systems, consisting of intermittent and controllable technologies. The following aspects will mainly be discussed:
- Centralized and decentralized (distributed) energy systems
- Advantages and disadvantages of centralized and distributed energy systems
- Intermittent and controllable energy technologies
- Combination of energy technologies for integrated and flexible energy generation systems
Learning outcome
This course will give students a broad and basic understanding of energy technologies and integrated energy systems. They will gain an overview and understanding of energy generation in both large-scale centralized and small-scale distributed applications. They will have an understanding for the effects of intermittent renewables and the need for a combination of controllable and intermittent energy generation technologies.
