Basic knowledge in linear algebra and programming

1. Understand and apply fundamental and advanced optimization techniques (linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer programming) in the context of energysystems planning and operation.
2. Implement and solve real-world energy optimization problems using software tools such as GAMS, Python and MATLAB.
3. Analyze and compare the performance of various optimization algorithms for complex energy system challenges.
4. Develop and evaluate different optimization models for enhanced decision-making in energy systems.

The course counts for 2,5 ECTS credit. All students will receive a diploma stating participation in the course.

Remarks - workload:
In total about 70 hours (28 hours teaching, 14 hours practicing, 8 hours for preparations, 18 for doing the assignment andfinalizing a student report)

Evaluation form: The participants will be evaluated by exercises in a daily basis (both individually and in groups) and a mini-project on the optimization of energy systems at
the end of the course.

Criteria for assessment: Participants will be assessed based on their daily individual and group exercises, focusing on understanding, application, and collaboration.

Selected articles, book chapters, presentations and software will be announced to the participants at the course site in PhD moodle.

Please observe that it is impossible to register for PhD courses until 4 months before start

Outside of AAU
If you are from outside Aalborg University and you wish to enroll in one of our PhD courses, you must create a profile. This is done by clicking on “create new account” and filling out the form in PhD Moodle.

Cancellation
Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before the start of the course. The Doctoral School has a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up.

Registered illness sent to the course organizer and the aauphd@aau.dk is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days.

Diploma
All passed participants will receive a diploma as a PDF file.
The Doctoral School kindly ask for your patience, as it might take a while before you receive the final course diploma. This is due to the process of gathering evaluations.

Please address questions regarding the evaluation or issue of the diploma to the Doctoral School, via email at phdcourses@adm.aau.dk
