OPTIMIZATION ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

Undergraduate

The course aims to provide the knowledge about the application of various optimization methods in designing energy infrastructure. The course starts with the introduction to various optimization algorithms. Thereafter, the integration of energy modeling and simulation with optimization algorithms will be demonstrated. This course will also cover the optimization of distributed energy systems using single and multi-objective optimization methods. Several minor projects will be introduced to formulate the energy system optimization problem deciding design variables, objectives, and constraints. Cross-level listed with SDE 7061. Objectives, assessment and outcomes will be commensurate with the undergraduate level. PREREQUISITE: Permission of the instructor Three lecture hours per week
