Outcomes
- Understand energy basics, energy usage, fossil fuels, solar energy, wind and hydro power, waves, tides and OTEC, geothermal and biomass.
- Assess realistic problems encountered in energy applications and employ appropriate tools for analyzing them.
- Evaluate the structure of research formulations and select appropriate solution methods.
- Implement mathematical formulations using a software tool (Excel Solver) analyze solver output in terms of solution quality and sensitivity to changes in input parameters.
- Utilize appropriate techniques to forecast values of interest and assess the quality of forecast models in terms of uncertainty and any risks posed by this uncertainty.
- Construct simulation models to model complex and/or nondeterministic energy systems.
- Evaluate the output of research models and draw appropriate conclusions about the actual system.
