Mathematical Models for Energy Planning and Optimisation
Online | In-company
Overview
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.
This new 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.
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.
Participants will be able to apply the methods and techniques learned from this course to optimise conventional and renewable energy systems.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, you will understand:
- how to develop simple mathematical models to inform energy planning decisions
- best practice in developing mathematical models.
Who will benefit
- Chemical and process engineers working in the energy sector
- Researchers working in the field of energy
Course outline
- Steps required for mathematical optimisation
- Operational optimisation
- Design optimisation
- Supply chains
