Inhoud
In this module the student will expand his/her knowledge of the fundamentals of (renewable) energy technologies. This will enable the student to develop basic knowledge and systemic vision of the application of these technologies in energy system design. The governance and sustainability of energy systems in a European context are also discussed This module is a continuation of the core module Technologies, Plants and Integration at Different Scales (TPI), and places the core module within a broader context. I.e., the European energy system is explored, and a systemic view on the interaction between energy carriers, gas, electricity and heat networks is discussed. Students will study the interaction of various types of energies and the role of energy infrastructures to connect supply and demand. They will learn about potential barriers and how to make use of different possibilities to transform the current energy system into one that is much cleaner, without jeopardizing the reliability and affordability of energy
