    Competence objectives of the study unit
    Discuss Sankey diagrams with respect to climate change impacts
    Review and evaluate a range of low carbon energy generation technologies
    Appraise the benefits/limitations of developing energy storage solutions
    Describe the challenges of renewable energy and grid distribution infrastructure
    Identify `nudge´ psychology with policy to modify human behavioural patterns
    Prerequisites
    No prerequisites.
    Content of the study unit
    This course focuses on a number of renewable low carbon and rapidly emerging energy storage alternatives. Specifically, those related to the transport and power generation sectors. It will discuss current and future implementation as a means to limit the emissions of GHG’s and thereby mitigate the effects of global warming.
    Assessment criteria
    Failed (0)
    <50% of the maximum number of credits earned in the assignments
    Assessment criteria – satisfactory (1-2)
    It will contain basic summaries/descriptions of some of the topics covered and will contain some sense of the student’s learning, but it may be sketchy, disorganised, short, or lacking a sense of progression. While there will be some evidence of understanding, the work will show very limited evidence of critical selection, analysis and reflection.
    Assessment criteria – good (3-4)
    It will show a clear and developing understanding of the concepts and issues addressed in the course, and provide both critical analysis and reflection on the topics of the course. The work will cover the main topics/themes but may draw on supplementary resources as well. There will be clear evidence of the student’s own learning process and of active engagement with the course content.
    Assessment criteria – excellent (5)
    It will not only demonstrate comprehensive and relevant coverage of the course
    material but it will also present substantial analysis, evaluation and synthesis.
    Work in this range will draw on a considerable amount of supplementary resources, take a particularly original approach to reflection, or point out exceptionally insightful or unexpected links between different elements of the course. The work submitted will reflect a persistent and high level of engagement and learning and will demonstrate a cumulative understanding of the course material
