TEK5340 – Energy Systems Analysis: Modelling, Methods and Scenarios

Course content

The course provides a comprehensive overview of energy system analysis, a discipline that gives insights into how energy systems can be designed and operated to cover future energy needs in a cost-effective and sustainable manner. The course gives knowledge on the interaction between energy production, infrastructure, storage, energy use and emissions, and how this can be modelled. Analyses with energy system models are used as decision support related to the low-carbon transition by both authorities and private energy companies.

Learning outcome

After completing this course, you will be able to

  • perform investment analyzes for various technologies
