NIGK13005U Energy Systems and Climate Mitigation
MSc Programme in Climate Change
MSc Programme in Agriculture
1. Introduction: Basic energy concepts and thermodynamics.
2. Energy and economic development.
3. Renewable and non-renewable energy resources and energy
technologies
4. Energy production and it’s climate impacts.
5. Energy systems management
6. Case study: Planning a renewable energy supply
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with an
overview and understanding of energy systems, the associated energy
technologies and their climate impact. Special emphasis will be
given to renewable energy technologies. A student having completed
the course will be able to:
Knowledge:
- Understand and describe the interrelations between the climate
systems and the energy systems.
- Describe the renewable energy technologies available to mitigate
climate change.
Skills:
- Analyze exsisting energy systems, at all scales, and their
contributions to climate change and mitigation
- Evaluate the appropriateness of alternative strategies for
transformation of the energy systems for climate change
mitigation
Compentences:
-Contribute constructively to the design of sustainable energy
systems at all scales
- Work in inter-disciplinary groups to solve problems related to
energy systems and climate change mitigation
