LEARNING OUTCOMES

A student recognizes the role of industry as an energy consumer but also as an electricity and heat producer. The student understands factors affecting energy consumption of industrial processes and knows how to compare and improve the energy efficiency of industrial processes. The student understands the role of an industrial power plant and can make basic power plant calculations. The student recognizes what chances and challenges are related to green transition in industry. The student can apply their knowledge to preliminary design of energy systems of industrial processes. An integrated pulp and paper mill is used as example mill in the course.
