Course
Energy, Energy Technologies, and Energy System Integration (PET515)
This course gives the students basic insights into what energy is, how it is measured, different types of energy that exists and various energy conversion technologies. It then moves on to present various energy technologies and the deficiencies of different energy technologies (fossil and non-fossil based) and the challenges the current shortcomings present for a transition to a low carbon society. It further discusses the role different energy technologies can play in the transition to a low carbon society, the challenges and opportunities represented by digitalization and ICT related to energy system integration, and various configurations of possible solutions for energy system integration.
