Learning outcomes

The student has the ability to:
  • plan, develop and manage multi-disciplinary/-level/-dimensional energy transition projects within time, budgetary, quality and personel constraints
  • work in multidisciplinary (inter)national teams effectively and efficiently
  • demonstrate abstract, analytical thinking and creativity in synthesis of ideas across disciplines
  • conduct applied scientific research independently  in sustainable energy systems
  • communicate professionaly in English (oral and written) using modern (social media based) communication tools
  • be entrepreneurial
  • analyse, design, assess and implement
    (a) the interactions of technical, energetical, economical, business and legal/licensing aspects of the various components of the overall energy system and value chains at various aggregation levels
    (b) the role of energy policy, policy decision making and stakeholders (e.g  public acceptance issues)
    (c)  energy project business plans and tools/techniques (e.g scenario planning, business cases, risk analysis, rate of investment return)
    (d) energy system features, boundary conditions (grid balancing: demand versus supply), energy market behaviour and (renewable) production technologies.
  • analyse, design, create, assess and implement
    (a) constraint and context based business plans using appropriate tools/models
    (b) scenario plans for multi-criteria decision making using risk/return/uncertainty profiles,
    (c) models for efficiency and effectivity analysis
    (d) optimisations and market strategies
  • develop, analyse and implement:
    (a) business cases & plans for system transition projects ,
    (b) project resource constraints (budget, information, organisation, time, quality)
    (c) monitoring tools for project assessment.
