OBJECTIVE
The course begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts the energy system, its main technologies, and the need for a sustainable energy transition. Students become familiar with the existing energy system, the goals set for its transition toward cleaner energy sources, and the challenges that arise during the energy transition. Following, the course tackles the electricity supply domain, focusing on variable renewable energy sources (RES), such as photovoltaics and wind farms. Specifically, the course covers business models for RES operation, short-term and long-term energy storage planning, and intelligent energy management methods. Finally, the course addresses the electricity demand domain and the potential for active consumer participation in the energy transition process. Topics include energy efficiency upgrades in buildings, smart technologies, building-vehicle collaboration models, dynamic energy pricing, and energy community models. Throughout the course, students will practice Excel use to simulate real-world energy-related problems, gaining hands-on experience in energy system analysis.
