Industrial Energy Systems

Aim

The overall aim of the course is to provide a systems perspective on energy supply and energy demand in different types of industrial systems with focus on energy efficiency. After completion of the course the student is able to:

• Describe, explain and illustrate overall structure and development of industrial energy use and the influence on its environment
• Describe and discuss the function of different industrial processes and their energy use
• Describe and critically use unit process categorization of energy demand
• Critically review and carry out industrial energy audits
• Describe and reflect upon different types of measures and their potentials within industrial energy systems
• Describe and reflect upon systems consequences from measures on the supply and demand side within industrial energy systems
