Energy Systems Analysis - Study line
Energy System Analysis
In the study track Energy Systems Analysis, the students achieve a good understanding of the energy system and the interaction between different energy technologies and different energy sectors such as heat, power and transport. Further, the students will gain a broad understanding of the role of the energy system in society and in particular the role of renewable energy in the energy system as well as from a socio-economic point of view.
The graduates will be able to analyze complex energy systems using advanced modeling and statistics methods. Competences from the programme will enable graduates to plan and manage large projects in the energy sector as well as to design solutions for optimized energy systems. A thorough understanding of energy markets, risks and regulations provides the basis for advising energy companies and authorities on strategies in energy and environmental markets as well as on projecting future demands and opportunities for renewable energy technologies.
