System analysis with energy applications

System analysis involves mathematical/statistical analysis and modeling of complex systems, with the aim of understanding, optimising and predicting system characteristics and behavior under different conditions. Stability, sensitivity and resilience are treated as well as chaotic and stochastic processes. Depending on the nature of the problem, well-defined systems can be described using different types of models: e.g. static/dynamic, deterministic/stochastic, local/global, and combinations of these. Current issues related to energy are dealt with and described from a systems perspective, discussing alternative solutions, as well as how the system/model is influenced by different factors. System analysis also includes issues and methods related to theory of science.


The theory is given in the form of lectures. Part of the course consists of computer exercises and projects during which the students build, simulate, analyse and validate models of different types. Emphasis is placed on the student’s understanding of the connection between structure and behavior of a system. General techniques such as model adaptation, sensitivity analysis and optimisation are treated and practiced in the computer exercises. Particular focus is placed on energy systems for a sustainable development.
