This course aims to establish a novel,
comprehensive framework for studying
electrical energy systems and then use that
framework to deconstruct and reassemble
the power system while providing analytical
tools to support further study. In particular,
the subjects covered are: * Why Does
Energy Matter, How Much Energy Is
Needed, Key Questions to Examine in the
Energy System, Constraints of the Energy
System * Physics of Energy, Energy vs.
Power, How Energy Is Transformed, Laws of
Thermodynamics, Energy System Map,
Market Design and Function * Power
generation characteristics * Electric power
industry as a business * Electricity and Grid
Operation * Grid Economics ? Electricity
Generation Technologies & Renewable
Electricity * Transmission System *
Consumption and Electricity Demand
Management * Electric Storage ? Distributed Generation
