Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

This course increases the students' design knowledge about building power supply systems by integrating with intelligent cities. The main study fields include:

  • Technical, economic and political aims from several stakeholder perspectives in the energy system of a city
  • Physical design of building energy systems in intelligent city context
  • Advanced control technology considering dynamic market signals and practical technical limitations
  • Storing for generation on site, network flexibility and resilience against network disruptions
  • Energy societies and consumer units
  • Human behaviour and the motives/impediments for intelligent city technology assumption

Intended learning outcomes

The course intends to give the students the necessary skills to design and control building energy systems with a holistic perspective on technical, economic, environmental and social aspects.

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

  1. Identify and describe the principles of design and control to build energy supply systems in the intelligent city
  2. Implement appropriate methods to evaluate the technical, economic and environmental performance of buildings holistically in the intelligent city
  3. Justify design and control - recommendations to different interested parties by means of appropriate performance indicators
