This course presents an overview of oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, solar, geothermal, biomass, wind, and ocean energy resources in terms of supply, distribution, recovery and conversion, environmental impacts, economics, policy, and technology. The opportunities for energy efficiency, electric power basics, the changing role of electric utilities, transportation basics, and energy use in developing countries are also studied. The Coming Energy Revolution? This course investigates the forces driving an energy revolution: environmental pressures; global, social, and economic revolution; and technological change. Course material includes the assessment of evolution versus revolution, developed versus developing countries, transportation, electric power, resource development and extraction, end use technologies, deregulation, privatization and globalization, barriers to change, and the mechanisms to overcome them. Energy Systems Field Trips: China Energy Systems This is a directed readings course that studies the energy resources and policies in use and under development in the world's most populous nation. As a country undergoing rapid and sustained economic growth, China's decisions as to how to meet its energy requirements will affect global energy markets and impact the global environment. This course investigates the areas of major impact that are forecast and presents a comparative analysis of China's energy management strategies. The course culminates in a two week trip to China to observe energy facilities and initiatives, thematically moving from dark to light: fossil fuels to renewables. |
