AAE-E3007 - Process Integration and Energy Optimization D, Lecture, 22.10.2024-3.12.2024

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students understand how to apply process integration (especially pinch analysis) methods to improve the energy efficiency of industrial and municipal energy systems. Students identify problems in the energy technology which can be solved using optimization. Students understand the most important optimization methods (e.g. linear programming or dynamic optimization) and are able to apply these methods to optimization of energy systems.
