Education facts
Code: EMG311
The course deals with methods for systems analysis applied to energy and environmental systems. One area treated is environmental systems analysis with a focus on life cycle analysis and assessment of the impact of energy consumption on the environment, including investment analysis with life cycle cost calculation and environmental economy and control instruments. Another area treated is model building and simulation, including production of systems descriptions (modelling) of energy and environmental technology systems with a focus on describing energy and mass balances and flows of energy and mass. Systems descriptions in block diagrams are transformed into mathematical models and implemented in computer-based calculation tools (simulation programs) A third area treated is applied systems analysis of a complex problem, including analysis of energy consumption, environmental impact and economy. The aim is to develop command of a system analytical approach as a tool in problem solving. Instruction is in the form of lectures, supervision and project work.
