Learning outcomes

After completion of this module the student is able to:
  1. define a research problem related to renewable energy supply chains
  2. critically analyse relevant (scientific) literature
  3. develop simulation models of energy systems, using appropriate methods and techniques, e.g. Material and Energy Flow Analysis (MEFA), Monte Carlo (MC)
  4. understand optimisation methods for solving energy system problems, e.g. Linear Programming (LP) and Mixed Integer Linear Programming techniques (MILP)
  5. explain the applicability, assumptions and limitations of energy system models
  6. systematically report research question, methods, results, discussion and conclusions
