Synopsis:

The subject focuses on complex problems of economy of production of electricity and heat from renewable energy sources. The course develops the acquired knowledge in the field of financial management due to the specifics of electricity / heat generation from RES and the expected development of energy markets. Consequently, it deals with the theoretical concepts of the electricity market, taking into account current trends in the decentralization of energy systems, decarbonisation of energy and the expected high penetration of electricity from RES into the electricity market. These trends require the development of different types of energy accumulation and the implementation of smart technologies in the management of network operation. The course also includes modeling of the development of energy systems with high RES share.
