- The course focuses on the basics of the application of geoinformation systems in energy engineering, including the collection, processing and display of vector and raster data. Students will be given an overview of the basic principles and functionality of GIS tools and their application for energy planning, starting from modeling and presentation of energy demand densities and potential energy sources to supply planning.
- Student responsibilities:
- Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:
- Continuous work through the semester by making one seminar and one project assignment.
- Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:
- Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
- Understand the concepts of geoinformation systems; Understand the possibility of applying geoinformation systems in energy engineering; Understand the importance of spatial distribution of energy demand and supply; Understand the difference between vector and raster data; Use geoinformation tools; Develop GIS maps of demand and potential heat supply; Develop GIS maps of demand and potential electricity supply; Develop GIS maps of demand and potential cooling supply; Use open databases to collect and process geoinformation data.
