ENEE 4260U – Integrated Energy Systems

This course provides students with basic, conceptual and applied engineering design methods and practices of energy system integration and multigeneration. These are applied to various fossil fuels-, nuclear- and renewable-based conventional and new systems for productions of multi commodities, such as power, hot water heating, cooling, hydrogen, fresh water, etc. Energy storage options are studied and integrated with
energy generation systems. Various case studies of integrated energy systems are developed for sustainability community applications. Assessment studies for performance, environmental impact and sustainability are undertaken for comparative assessment. Scaling-up issues are also discussed. Sectoral implementation and
planning studies for such systems are evaluated. Potential improvements and optimizations are studied through various methodologies, design and simulations tools.
