Industrial Energy Management
Objectives and Competence
The students are able to calculate the global warming due to anthropogenic CO2 emission. they can calculate and assess the efficiency of power stations for fossil and renewable energies. They can apply economical calculations to compare the production costs for electricity using different energy systems. They can evaluate measures for the reduction of energy consumption and fossil CO2 emissions considereing specific boundary conditions.
