Study Guide

Objective

After completing the course, students are expected to have knowledge and insights about different forms of energy sources and their applications and alternative uses. The focus is on the sustainability aspect and students are expected to be able to argue about various future energy solutions. The student must master the thermodynamics, combustion technical and chemical basics required to explain the functional principles of the various concepts presented in the course. Students must also have knowledge of possible emissions and their significance.

Content

Alternative energy sources of today:
• Wind power
•Hydropower
• Solar power
• Biofuels
•Hydrogen

The research versus industry's view of future energy sources

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Justifiable; The student describes theory formation and concepts partially flawed both in the exam, exercise assignments and in project calculations.
They do not use theory and concepts as well as mathematical derivations, formulas and tables correctly, to some parts, which gives incorrect calculation results for comparison, defense, decision and proof.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good; The student uses theory formation and concepts in the exam, in exercises and in connection with project calculation assignments almost correctly. Calculations, comparisons, defenses and evidence have a good theoretical basis for application in practice.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Praiseworthy; The student bases his descriptions, calculations and arguments on relevant theory formation and the meaning of concepts.
Explanations in the exam, in exercise work and project calculations include motivations, comparisons and he takes a stand and gives suggestions for development. The calculations are correct.
