Get an overview of Workshops for EnergyPLAN workers
The EnergyPLAN model is developed by the Sustainable Energy Planning Research group at Aalborg University in cooperation with PlanEnergi and EMD A/S. The research group studies energy planning and management in an interdisciplinary perspective. Focus is placed on energy planning in relation to technology, geography, economic and institutional conditions. The research conducted can be divided into three main areas of study:
This PhD course gives an introduction to advanced energy system analysis using the EnergyPLAN model and gives you a chance to work on an energy modelling study of your own choice. After the course, you will be able to understand methodologies of advanced energy system analysis and use EnergyPLAN as a tool for energy system analyses.
