Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course covers sustainable energy engineering at second cycle level, with a special focus on to identify possibilities to innovation at the development of sustainable energy systems in general and advanced energy combinations in particular.
Here, a specialised analysis of the knowledge situation is used ("state-of-the-art") combined with studies around industrial dynamics to discuss and analyse possibilities to innovation in the area.
The course consists of a few key lectures and seminars carry the main part of the learning process regarding to discuss and analyse.
A project is introduced at the start of the course and runs through the whole course period. Through the projects, the tools that are mentioned above are applied in real cases.
An examination gives another possibility to show the level on knowledge and skills that have been achieved.
The result of the examination together with skills that have been shown through the project constitutes basis for final course grade.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
1. Explain and give examples of how the development of sustainable energy systems mobilises possibilities to technical innovations
2. Discuss and analyse the innovation process through the phases idea, creation, exploration and selection implementation and commercialisation.
3. Analyse state-of-the-art for technology during development to, by means of methods in industrial dynamics, identify possibilities to innovation.
