pre152 - Resilient Energy Systems (Veranstaltungsübersicht)

At the end of the lecture period (presentation) and at the end of the semester (paper submission)

Presentation of a Paper (presentation - 20 minutes and written report ca. 10 pages

After successful completion of the module students should be able to:

• analyse, and critically understand different definitions of resilience and fundamental concepts relevant in the context of energy systems analysis (e.g. complexity, homeostasis and equilibria, stressors, …)
• understand and interlink assessment methods, principles and theories for resilience analysis of energy supply systems in different scientific disciplines
• critically evaluate the suitability, meaningfulness and implications of different resilience related indicators, theories and assessment methods from several disciplines
• develop a scientific discourse on suitable approaches for assessing particular aspects of           resilient energy system design in the context of a particular real-life case study
• identify main barriers, potentials and driving factors for improving one selected assessment          approach in the context of its application to a case study
• perform a literature review, apply a selected resilience paradigm and analysis method and extract the main related conclusions, arguing critically on them
• present scientific results and conclusions both verbally and in written form, including           quotation to a professional standard
