Please note: the information in the course manual is binding.

After completion of this course students:

1.have insight in the most important research methods used to analyse the technologies for energy transition;

2.have insight in the strong and weak points of these research methods;

3.can apply these research methods independently and to evaluate technological options in the field of energy science;

4.are able to interpret the results and uncertainties; and

5.are able to provide critical peer feedback.

This course covers:

Process analysis by setting up energy and mass balances and performance calculations of complex technologies, using principles from Life Cycle Assessment and process technology.
Economic analyses of technologies and systems, using knowledge from cost engineering.
Proper use of energy and other statistics for comparing and analyzing performance of e.g. economic sectors.
Using Input/Output analysis as a tool to evaluate impacts on a national economy, e.g. impacts on GDP and employment generated by deploying different technologies.
Using life cycle assessment to analyse and evaluate the environmental performance of energy technologies.
Using (simple) Multi-Criteria Analysis as a system to combine very different types of information to provide an integrated evaluation.
