Formål

Renewable energies are going to play the key role in the transition from today's fossil based energy system to tomorrow's sustainable energy system. This course will give an overview of the most important renewable energy sources. We will discuss both their individual characteristics and their interplay in a future energy system. 

Indhold

The subjects will include: the role of energy in society (interplay with politics and economics), the characteristics of energy consumption (magnitude, geographic and temporal distribution), the characteristics of energy production and distribution (stability, tunability, transmission losses), wind, solar radiation, hydro-energy and biomass as energy resources.

Faglige forudsætninger

Bachelor degree in engineering, physics or mathematics

Læringsmål

Upon completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to:

  • describe and explain the important characteristics of a general energy resource
  • describe and explain what these characteristic are for the individual resources covered by this course
  • critically evaluate models for proposed power systems based on renewable energies
  • do model calculations for power systems based on renewable energies

Bedømmelse

The final exam is oral.

The students can choose to conduct an independent study on selected material. They will then have to produce a written report, which will be evaluated and discussed as part of the final exam.

The assessment is after the 7- level scale, internal marking.

Reexamination will be arranged together with the Course Responsible.
