Content
The course focuses on understanding the link between demand and energy efficiency for a successful socio-technical transition to sustainable energy, with a focus on transportation energy systems as case study. Analytical tools from resource & energy economics, transportation economics, data analytics, and engineering will be covered to assess the energy consumption and environmental effects of long-term projects over complex, large-scale energy & infrastructure systems.
Learning outcome - Objectives
Learning outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1.Understand and apply multidisciplinary tools (engineering, economics, statistics) for the analysis sociotechnical energy efficiency transitions 2.Understand interactions among the infrastructure, transportation, economic, energy, environmental, regulatory, and social systems 3.Recognize the importance of and how to account for customer response to sustainable energy for planning investments, designing new technologies, and defining welfare-improving policies 4.Model customer energy choices among emerging technologies with a focus on transportation (electrification) 5.Appreciate the use of statistical models for decision-based design and energy demand management 6.Apply statistical tools for the analysis of energy systems using statistical software (RStudio) 7.Understand the use of regulatory tools such as fuel taxes, feebates, and fuel efficiency standards
Course assessment
70% Problem Sets: 2 problem sets (35% each) will help the student to understand new approaches, to resolve misconceptions, and to emphasize key subjects that are relevant in practice. 30% Take-home Exam: A true understanding of the analytical tools is a necessary asset for empirical work. A final exam will test whether students have acquired a solid background for understanding, analyzing and modeling the relationship between transportation demand and energy consumption.
