Course contents *

The course is structured in the form of a project to be implemented using a modeling tool for power analysis. In some cases, the project will have clients from industry. The course begins with lectures relevant support for the project and the software to be used and then the project will be conducted in groups or individually, where follow-up workshops are in support of the project. The results of the study will be presented in a report and an oral presentation.

Intended learning outcomes *

After following the course the student should

• Be familiar with a modeling tool for analysis of a energy production system
• Based on vaguely specified data be able to build a model of power and heat production and other energy services such as liquid fuels
• Be able to assess the reasonableness of the result of an energy analysis
• Have knowledge of the limitations of models
• Be able to select relevant data in a model and present it in writing and orally
• Be familiar with the sensitivity analysis
