ESMA 741 Advanced Modeling for Energy Planning
Advanced Modeling for Energy Planning is a PhD seminar course that deepens the understanding and applications of modeling and simulation tools as used in medium and long-range energy planning. The seminar consists of three modules: Fundamental dynamics of the global energy systems with a view of the energy transition, Energy modeling approaches, and Constraints and practical implications of using models for energy planning. The seminar provides a deep understanding of the dynamic behaviors of global and regional energy systems including trade, presents a comprehensive review of energy modeling methodologies used for planning purposes, provides the context for applying these through practical guidelines and pitfalls that should be avoided for effective policy analysis.
