Specific course objectives
The lessons aim at preparing the student to deal with the energy planning of a circumscribed area: either it is an industrial site or it is a territory. The energy conversion stream can flow from conventional resources (i.e. thermal, hydro), from alternative/renewable resources (wind, solar, co-generation) down to the energy service at the end user. The modelling will be used to investigate the technical, the economic, the environmental and energy aspects. The topics cover an introduction to planning, optimization techniques (LP, MILP, GP, MOLP) and the use of scenarios for the modelling and sensitive analysis(eqv. 6 ECTS). All the above topics will be the basis for the preparation of the report (work group thesis) at the end of the course.
During the laboratory works the students will be driven to the use of specific modelling programs.
