Course contents:
The course gives a thorough introduction to the design of energy systems able to support the societies demand for energy services in both the stationary and mobile sector, taking into consideration the current environmental and economical constraints and requirements for security of supply. Primary emphasis will be on concersion of renewable energy resources, but also utilisation of fossil fuel with carbon capture and storage is included. Knowledge of environmental effects, energy efficiency and cost considerations concerning technologies for small- and large scale hydro power, wind power, biomass for energy and fuel, solar energy and heat pumps constitutes an important part of the course. Demand for energy services, both present situation, future development and energy efficiency means will be comprehensively discussed.
Learning outcome:
The students will acquire knowledge of, and be able to account for, the environmental consequences, economical feasibility, energy efficiency and effect on security of supply for different energy systems.
