Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course successful students will have • Acquired a basic understanding of the functioning of energy system models; • Built up their own simple energy systems model; • Applied the model to a specific use case, e.g. CO2 emission reductions; • Analyzed model results; • Learned to interpret the results of energy models and acknowledge limitations

Content

The integrated course will consist of lecture elements, hands-on numerical modeling of energy systems and the presentation of modeling results to the class. 1. Introduction to the role of energy modeling and types of energy models; 2. Basic concepts: Resource endowments, energy balance equations, conversion technologies, energy demand, environmental impacts; 3. Optimization problems; 4. Hands-on programming a. Build up simple energy systems model from scratch b. Analysis of model results c. Extensions tailored to a specific application 5. Presentation of results

Energy Systems Modeling (IV):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Preparation	1.0	20.0h	20.0h
Attending classes	1.0	30.0h	30.0h
Exercises, model application and presentation of results	1.0	30.0h	30.0h
			80.0h(~3 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 80.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 3 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

Lecture: Based on the theoretical foundations of energy systems analysis and operations research. Numerical Modeling: Students will develop their own small energy systems model. This will be based on the open source modeling system OSeMOSYS (http://www.osemosys.org/) or a much simplified version of the REMIND energy systems model (https://www.pik-potsdam.de/research/transformation-pathways/models/remind)
