Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is based on most notable energy research outcomes, as well as analytical and strategic documents from energy companies and government agencies. Theoretical concepts are illustrated with real-life case studies. The course director and invited experts provide a combination of different perspectives: policy, engineering (technology), economic and management. The materials are meant to provide background knowledge, explain theoretical concepts, offer methodological support, as well as to give a global and cross-country perspectives. The interactive lectures allow discussing the material with students. Students are encouraged to share their reflections on the approaches introduced at lectures and in the literature, and apply this knowledge by tackling real-life case-studies. The course literature includes theoretical and methodological publications, strategic national and corporate documents, and outlooks of international organizations. This elective course is delivered in one module. There are no study pre-requisites.
Learning Objectives
- Provide students with basic knowledge of energy systems, their key elements, and their future design (outlook)
- Explain and provide examples of the main methods used in energy technology foresight
- Explain and provide examples of the key energy policy tools and best practices, with a particular focus on science, technology and innovation in the energy industry
- Develop the abilities to identify, collect and interpret data and information on energy systems for evidence-based decision-making
- Develop the abilities for foresee the changes in the energy industry and energy policy
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Applied policy analysis for national, regional, local and corporate decision-making; Energy security basic analysis skills
- Basic knowledge of energy systems analysis; Understanding how present and future energy systems are designed and their main components
- Knowledge of energy systems implications for economic, social and environmental development
- Basic knowledge of energy technology foresight at national, sectoral, and corporate level
- Understanding the main methods and approaches to manage sustainable development and ESG at corporate level
Course Contents
- Topic 1. The introduction to present and future energy systems: key elements and their interrelation
- Topic 2. Global energy governance
- Topic 3. The transformation of energy companies
- Topic 4. National energy policies and their environmental, social and cross-sectoral implications
- Topic 5. Energy technology foresight: from research to policy advice
Assessment Elements
- 1. Group assignmentOne group assignment prepared together with fellow students - a case study (a presentation of maximum 20 slides). The size of such groups are determined by students themselves.
- 2. Individual home assignmentHome assignment (HA) A written task (obligatory or voluntary) is prepared within three to four days after the announcement of the topic. HA are to be submitted by the beginning of the seminar following the lecture at which the task was announced. Each student is asked to submit two HAs during the course: one prepared as individual assignment (a mini-essay of 2,000 words). One student can additionally submit no more than three HA during the course on voluntary basis (two highest grades are taken into consideration for final grade calculation) in the form of mini-essay or case-study around 1,000 words following the topics that were provided. HA (if not mentioned specifically) should include: - a short introduction (why the issue matters); - a reasoned (evidence-based) written reply to the question asked; - a short conclusion (the main finding).
- 3. Final examFinal exam (E) is performed in the form of open-ended questions that have to be answered in a written form at a certain date. Two out of four questions have to be answered within 90 minutes. The tasks and supervision will be in the online mode.
