This course provides engineering students interested in energy systems with essential knowledge of major energy systems, including how they work, how they are quantitatively evaluated, what they cost, and what is their benefit or impact on the environment.
Dette er emnebeskrivelsen for studieåret 2023-2024
Students will study the basic theory of conventional and renewable energy systems and determine the system efficiencies. Additionally, students will become familiar with the engineering economic tools for economic evaluation of the energy systems projects. The emphasis of the course is on the application of quantitative engineering techniques to energy systems, so that a comparative analysis of various options can be realized.
Learning outcome
At the end of the course:
The student will become familiar with the importance of the energy systems, trends in world energy use and associated challenges.

Emneevaluering
There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
