ENERGY 272R: Engineering Future Electricity Systems (CEE 272R)

The electricity grid is undergoing a dramatic transformation due to the urgency to decarbonize, improve resilience against climate-induced extreme weather events, and provide affordable reliable access to at-risk communities.This fast-paced course aims to build a systematic understanding of the future electric power grid. Students will learn how to model, simulate, and optimize grid components, with an emphasis on new technologies such as storage, clean energy sources, and electric vehicles. The course is organized in five sections: loads, distribution, transmission, storage, and generation, and within these modules, students will explore the roles of a variety of grid ecosystem participants (e.g. system operators, utilities, aggregators, technology vendors, and consumers). Students will be exposed to grid modeling, optimization, data science, and economics at an introductory level that allows them to perform basic assessments and develop proof of concept ideas in Python. After this course, much of the current literature and technology developments in the electric grid should be readily accessible for those interested in furthering their learning.

ENERGY 276: Electric System Planning with Emerging Generation Technologies (ENERGY 176)

The current electric system was built with a focus on large, continuous-duty baseload power generators fueled primarily by coal and nuclear generation. The electric grid was designed to meet local needs rather than regional or national ones, leading to a shortage of transmission capacity for integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar. This shortage has created a backlog of interconnection applications for utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects to reach wholesale power markets. The problem is compounded by the fact that transmission permitting is largely a state issue, with each state prioritizing its own interests. As a result, renewable developers face high network upgrade costs to connect wind, solar, and storage to the transmission system, creating a chicken-egg cycle that impedes the clean energy transition. This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of electric grid planning, focusing on the integration of emerging generation technologies, including solar, wind, geothermal, and energy storage. The course covers a range of key issues related to electric grid planning, including policy, economics, environmental impacts, and the latest tools and techniques for electric grid planning. Students will learn how to evaluate and analyze the economic principles of electricity systems, conduct a cost-benefit analysis of emerging generation technologies, and identify financing options for these technologies. The course uses the project-based learning approach. Students will work on three different real-world problems: the US, Germany, and a local context. This hands-on approach will allow students to gain practical experience in designing and implementing electricity systems that integrate emerging-generation technologies. By the end of the course, students will have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of emerging generations into the electric grid and will be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to design and implement effective solutions. Open-source tools (written in Python) and datasets for the course projects will be provided. Prerequisites: Students should be familiar with basic energy systems and are encouraged to take the ENERGY 101, 102, and "Understand Energy" course ( CEE 107A/207A - ENERGY 107A/207A - EARTHSYS103) first; or permission of instructor.

ENERGY 277A: Engineering and Sustainable Development: Toolkit (ENERGY 177A)

The first of a two-quarter, project-based course sequence that address cultural, sociopolitical, organizational, technical, and ethical issues at the heart of implementing sustainable engineering projects in a developing world. Students work in interdisciplinary project teams to tackle real-world design challenges in partnership with social entrepreneurs, local communities, and/or NGOs. While students must have the skills and aptitude necessary to make meaningful contributions to technical product designs, the course is open to all backgrounds and majors. The first quarter focuses on cultural awareness, ethical implications, user requirements, conceptual design, feasibility analysis, and implementation planning. Admission is by application. Students should plan to enroll in ENERGY 177B/277B Engineering & Sustainable Development: Implementation following successful completion of this course. Designated a Cardinal Course by the Haas Center for Public Service. To satisfy a Ways requirement, students must register for an undergraduate course number ( ENERGY 177A) and this course must be taken for at least 3 units.

ENERGY 297: Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer

Energy systems are multiphysics and multiscale in nature. This course addresses the quantitative understanding of fundamental physical processes that govern fluid flow and mass/heat transfer processes, critical to many energy systems. The course will cover conservation laws describing the dynamics of single phase flows, relevant to energy applications including, but not limited to, laminar flow solutions in pipes and ducts, Stokes flows (relevant to flow in porous media), potential and boundary layer flow theories (relevant to wind energy), heat and mass transport (relevant to geothermal and energy storage systems, reactive transport in the subsurface, CO2 sequestration). Although motivated by specific applications in the energy landscape, the course will be focused on fundamental principles and mathematical techniques to understand the basic physics underlying flow and transport processes.
