Energy Transmission and Storage

Master's programme: MSc in Energy Building Design, MSc in Energy Systems

Teaching Hours and Credit Allocation:30 Hours, 6 Credits
Course Assessment:Exam & Coursework

Aims

The aim of this course is to broaden and expand knowledge of modern energy transmission and storage. More specifically, this course introduces the concept of energy transmission in a variable environment in terms of energy supply and demand. Finally, modern techniques for energy storage (electricity and other forms) are presented.

Learning Outcomes
On completing the course students will:

  • Develop knowledge of the technology behind current electrical, natural gas and hydrogen networks
  • Develop an understanding of energy transmission in variable and congested network
  • Learn to provide power flow control to balance supply and demand
  • Acquire management skills in energy storage and network disturbances
