TEK5340 – Energy Systems Analysis: Modelling, Methods and Scenarios

After completing this course, you will be able to

• perform investment analyzes for various technologies
• identify energy system pathways to meet climate targets
• develop consistent energy and climate scenarios
• utilize knowledge from various disciplines (mathematical programming, economy, physics and energy resources, energy technologies, etc.) in order to perform techno-economic analyses of sustainable energy systems
• design and apply optimization models of energy systems that take uncertainty into account

You will also acquire knowledge regarding

• acknowledged international energy and climate scenarios
• scenario planning
• the Norwegian energy system

Students admitted at UiO must apply for courses in Studentweb.

Nordic citizens and applicants residing in the Nordic countries may apply to take this course as a single course student.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.

The course builds on previous knowledge corresponding to the knowledge obtained in the bachelor's programme Matematikk med informatikk (bachelor) (continued).

In addition, it is an advantage if you have completed one (or more) of the following courses:

• FYS3320 – Physics and energy resources (discontinued)
• MAT-INF3100 – Linear Optimization (continued)
• TEK5300 – Renewable Energy: Science and Technology

3 hours of teaching per week throughout the semester. The course includes 3 mandatory assignments that must be approved before you can sit the exam. The assignments must be approved the same semester as the exam.

The course lectures are given at the Department of Technology Systems in Kjeller Research Park. See the schedule for the student bus from Campus Blindern.

• A final oral examination counts 100% towards the final grade.
• In the case of many candidates, a written examination may be held instead.
• 3 mandatory assignments must be approved in order to take the exam.

It will also be counted as 1 of the 3 attempts to sit the exam for this course if you sit the exam for the following courser:

• UNIK4820 – Energy systems analysis: Modelling, methods and scenarios (continued)
• UNIK9820 – Energy systems analysis: Modelling, methods and scenarios (continued)
• TEK9340 – Energy Systems Analysis: Modelling, Methods and Scenarios

Students who can document a valid reason for absence from the regular examination are offered a postponed examination at the beginning of the next semester.

Re-scheduled examinations are not offered to students who withdraw during, or did not pass, the original examination.
