1. To perform an analysis using EnergyPLAN
2. To present the analysis at the online exam on 2 December 2025

Contents

The course starts with an introduction to EnergyPLAN (installation, using, constructing new data sets) and proceeds to focus on the use of the model in

• sustainable cities and communities
• technical analyses of large-scale integration of wind
• analyses of exchange with external electricity markets
• combinations of different renewable energy technologies
• designing flexible energy systems using flexible technologies such as heat pumps, hydrogen storage, pumped storage etc.
• district heating systems versus individual houses and zero energy buildings
• designing energy systems based on multiple criteria
