Course description
Mathematical models provide decision-makers with the tools required to make well-informed decisions relating to energy planning and deployment. However, current knowledge and the fundamentals on this subject matter are often limited to scientific research.
Conventional and renewable energy systems
This course focuses on the application of mathematical models in industry and provides guidance on how they can help to inform better decisions in the energy sector. You will be able to apply the methods and techniques learned from this course to optimise conventional and renewable energy systems.
The methods taught in this workshop will consist of basic modelling approaches to optimise energy systems and supply chains based on cost, and emissions. Featuring simple examples and case studies, the course will give you hands-on experience in developing mathematical models that can be applied to your work.
You will also get a chance to use the models you develop during the workshop to analyse different scenarios, which may be useful or related to situations in fluctuating energy markets.
The workshop is aimed at participants from industry and academia, and so the methods for modelling taught are deterministic rather than stochastic.
This course is available as either an individual or group training. To get rates and book for your team, please contact the provider.
