Course objectives:

To teach students how to plan smart energy systems ato to develop strategic energy thinking, taking into account available resources and technologies, as well as economic, environmental and social factors.

Student responsibilities:

Attending classes, consultations and making seminars and project assignments.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Continuous work through the semester by making seminar and project assignments.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . Define the concept of smart energy systems

2 . Plan the development of smart energy systems by modeling energy demand and supply

3 . Choose technologies in a smart energy system based on available resources and economic, environmental, social and other requirements
