Learning Outcomes: |
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
Apply knowledge of sustainable power systems principles such as decarbonisation and net zero challenges to analyse and solve complex sustainable power systems problems (C1,C2) [EX]
Apply analytical techniques to model and simulate complex real-world sustainable power systems (C3) [EX]
Evaluate the impact of integrating sustainable energy solutions into the grid infrastructure such as storage and renewables to solve complex real-world sustainable power system problems (C6) [EX] |
Synopsis: | Gain in-depth understanding of the transitional challenges faced by power systems increasingly dominated by renewable energy. You'll learn the concepts and tools to analyse the technical operation of power systems and their interactions with other systems, as well as the external environment. |
Content: | Introduction to the transition of energy systems to net-zero, new challenges from renewable and low-carbon demand, and advanced tools to model and analyse the net-zero energy systems.
Modelling renewables, low-carbon demand, and new energy storage technologies
Modelling energy systems from local, regional and national levels
Data analytics and machine learning to support system planning and operation decision-making
The benefits and challenges of a whole-system approach to realise a clean, affordable, secure energy supply |
