| 11. | Course Syllabus:
1. Introduction to energy sector integration. (Decarbonization of the energy sector. Sector-coupled and smart energy systems. Energy sources and energy carriers.). 2. Static analysis. (National energy balances. Input-output models.). 3. Time-series analysis. (Energy modelling with hourly time series. Variability and temporal complementarity of renewable energy sources. Analysis of multi-year time series data of renewable energy generation.). 4. Technologies for energy sector integration. (Electrification of heat, district heating, electrification of transport, hydrogen, synthetic fuels.). 5. Simulation of local sector-coupled energy systems (Energy communities; Demand side flexibility; Cooperative coordination of assets in different energy sectors). 6. Simulating national sector-coupled energy systems. (Quantification of technical, economic and environmental benefits of energy sector coupling. Energy communities as hubs of sectoral integration.) |
