Subject

SUSE - Sustainable Systems Engineering

Description

The complexity of modern energy systems driven by rapid changes in the underlying cost of resources, advances in technology, and environmental pressures. Students will be introduced to practical tools to model and optimize energy systems from technical, social, and policy perspectives. Systems considered in the course will range in scale from regional to national and involve a range of energy vectors. We will examine couplings between different sectors of the energy system, including impacts of electrification of transportation and residential heating. The evolving interaction between electricity systems and more general energy use will be highlighted.

Prerequisite(s): Sustainable Systems Engineering 463 and Electrical Engineering 487.

Additional Information and Resources

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation within Alberta (including Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
