An introduction to optimal expansion planning of energy systems. Support for renewable energy production.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: After completing the course, the student shall: - understand the methodic foundation and framework for energy planning on the local, regional and national level. - understand methods for optimal power production. - understand the water value method for hydro pwoer planning. - understand basic economic principles for investments in energy systems. Skills: After completing the course, the student shall be able to: - formulate and solve central problems within technical-economic-environmental planning and operation of stationary energy supply systems, electrical and thermal. - give an account of the technical, economic and environmental consequences and optimize solutions for meeting the demand for electrical and thermal energy. - be able to formulate simplified energy planning problems in Python General competence: After completing the course, the candidate has increased: - skills in cooperation and interdisciplinary collaboration - ability to communicate effectively to professionals and non-specialists alike through reports and presentations - ability to contribute to innovation and innovation processes
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and compulsory exercises. Two excercises are based on Matlab. Compulsory project work, based on Python. Guest lecture from industry to emphasize the link between theory and practice. The course is given in English.

Further on evaluation
The final grade will be calculated from the results from a written school exam (counting 70%) and a project work (counting 30%). Each part will be graded from A-F. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
Re-sit Exam
A re-sit may be arranged for the written school exam. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral. The re-sit will be held in August.
Recommended previous knowledge
TET4105 Power System Analysis 1 or equivalent.
Some bakcground in operations research like TIØ4120 Operations Research, Introduction, is strongly recommended.
