| Aim: To obtain a thorough understanding of the physical, technical and economical basis of a broad selection of important energy technologies. A solid knowledge of key figures for energy resources, reserves, consumption and costs and for technical data as f.i. thermal efficiencies is required. The limitation of different technologies due to the underlying physical laws, and the similarities and differences between different fields are studied. The student must be able to apply the obtained knowledge and understanding immediately, without having to consult textbooks or tables. He/she must be able to contribute to a discussion or negotiation on energy issues, understand presentations by professionals, review them critically and place the presented figures and facts into a broader context. |
