Workshops for EnergyPLAN

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:

  • Energy System Analysis
  • Feasibility studies
  • Public regulation viewed in the light of technological change
Monday, April 28. – Tuesday, May 20. 9:00-16:00

Advanced Energy System Analysis on the EnergyPLAN model (2025)

The PhD course gives an introduction to advanced energy system analysis using the EnergyPLAN model. 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.

 

Time and place

The course consists of four onsite lectures and workshops in Aalborg on 28 April, 29 April, 30 April and 1 May 2025, followed by online Q&A sessions on 6 and 13 May 2025 and an online exam on 20 May 2025.

 

Registration

Registration link below will become active in January 2025.

 

Requirements to pass

Participants who pass the course will receive a diploma. Requirements to pass are:

  1. To perform an analysis using EnergyPLAN
  2. To present the analysis at the online exam on 20 May

 

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
