Description The course will give an introduction to Optimization of Energy Systems. It presents problems related to balancing energy supply and demand, utilization of different types of resources and conversion processes with due consideration to both investment and running costs as well as the stochastic nature of the behaviour of systems. The course also covers...Read More

Short Description This course presents the fundamentals, concepts and methods used in the analysis of data. It covers definitions, methods of computation of the various measures of data summarization. It also introduces stochastic analysis of events and the test used to assess whether a given set of data fits into some general pattern. The course...Read More
