ENTR 170 Energy Systems Modeling
This course introduces how to use and evaluate computational energy systems models to solve integrated technological, environmental, economic, cultural, and social problems.
Foundational models of energy system operations, planning, investment, markets, technology adoption, and trade are introduced. Fundamental systems modeling topics are covered, including the treatment of uncertainty, spatial and temporal scaling, multi-sector dynamics, multi-stakeholder preferences, multiple objectives, and environmental and socioeconomic impacts (e.g., air quality, labor, land use, social equity). Existing, transforming, and emerging systems are explored, such as power, renewable, fossil fuel, hydrogen, carbon capture, transmission, industrial, residential, and transportation systems.
