Title: Policy and Management of Modern Energy Systems
Location: US
Company: Delft University of Technology
About this course:
This course is designed for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the current energy system, in order to design actions and policies that can facilitate a fair and effective energy transition. The course will analyze the fundamental energy concepts in the context of technology, system operation and control, economics, energy policy, and energy justice. We will discuss different types of energy sources (including renewables), the energy chain, energy infrastructure and power distribution, the actors involved, the energy market, present-day (EU) energy policies, and the question of who benefits and who bears the costs of the energy transition. Throughout the course you will understand the status quo and you will learn about disruptive innovations and possible future prospects for the energy sector. The course will present you with the larger picture of the future of the energy industry and its evolving practices, which you need in order to make better decisions, initiate policies, and empower governance that help the energy transition be effective, fair, and sustainable.
This course has been designed by TU Delft's international experts on Energy Systems who have more than 30 years of practical experience and have conducted relevant research in the field. The course also brings you new developments by leading industry professionals in Europe.
Analyze the physical, operational, economic and policy aspects of the energy system and their interrelations.
Identify the roles of the different actors such as energy companies, network operators, consumers, aggregators, and government entities. This will enable the learner to actively engage with various stakeholders.
Clarify how energy markets work and are regulated and determine the changes renewable energy integration brings.
Recognize the importance of policy intervention in the energy system and compare what policy instruments are available for different policy goals.
Identify disruptive developments in technology and policy trends that will shape the future of our energy system.
Recognize the core tenets of energy justice and evaluate how engineering design, governance, and collaborative approaches such as Living Labs can help embed fairness into the energy transition.
Gain insight into the technology, economics, governance, management, and justice of the energy system and its current transitions to combat climate change so you can take appropriate decisions and design feasible, fair policies.
