The objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the rationale, the basic pinciples, the methods and tools of the energy systems optimization. The module equips the students with the perspective of the optimization in almost all the important energy problems such as their siting, capacity planning, design and operation. In parallel, the students are familiarized with the knowledge and experience for the integrated solution of energy problems and the approach that all the components of a system serve the goal of optimal operation of the entire system that they belong to. By the end of the course the students will recognize the optimization problems, the suitability of methods and software tools for the solution of the energy optimization problems.
