Course Objective

In recent decades, due to the significant increase in industrial and technological developments the need for energy is highly increased. To effectively meet the increased energy demand, efficient and productive systems and supply chains should be established. In addition, energy production systems should be designed and managed considering the three pillars of sustainability, economic, environmental and social. Developing and employing efficient optimization procedures has a vital role in sustainable design and management of energy systems. The primary aim of this course is to teach the industrial engineering and operations research techniques to optimize, design and manage energy systems effectively and in a sustainable manner. To this aim, statistical methods, multi objective decision making and mathematical modelling methods will be introduced to handle multiple objectives and uncertainties in tandem in design and management of energy systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To make the students aware of the importance of energy systems and the main problems in energy systems design and management
2   To develop the students' analytical capabilities to analyze an energy system and supply chain from a system point of view and separate into their elements
3   To develop the students' analytical capabilities in solving the energy systems optimization problems by capturing different sustainability aspects
4   To develop the students' analytical capabilities in solving the energy systems optimization problems by capturing problem specific uncertainties
5   To make the students develop and employ integrated optimization methodologies for design and management of sustainable energy systems
