Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course builds upon knowledge in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and electrical engineering with emphasis on technical aspects of energy processes and/or energy systems with industrial relevance. The following topics are covered:

  • Energy situation in Sweden, Europe, and the world
  • Primary energy sources and their conversion: fossil fuels, solar energy, wind power, hydropower, nuclear power, bioenergy
  • Distribution systems for electricity, heat, cooling, and pressurized air
  • Energy utilization in industry and the built environment
  • Energy utilization for transportation
  • Environmental impact of energy systems

Intended learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

1. Explain and analyze energy conversion processes linked to primary energy sources and how the converted energy is distributed.

2. Formulate and propose solutions to practical problems in various sectors, taking into account end users and sustainability.

3. Present proposed solutions for energy processes and/or energy systems adapted to different technical target groups.
