Renewable Energy and the Energy Transition
Info
Course
Term
Autumn 2023
We focus mainly on the challenges linked to replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy sources . We start by an overview of electricity markets and the rationale behind their design. Next, we examine the technological and economic challenges of rapid deployment of renewable energy and discuss the challenges posed by selective social acceptance of new (renewable) energy facilities and, in a wider sense, climate policies. Then we zoom out and synthetize the discussed issues through a systems perspective. We conclude by showcasing what we learned on selected country studies delivered by the students.
