Running a PhD course in energy modelling at DTU

The Technical University of Denmark asked Energy Modelling Lab to help organise and run a PhD course in energy modelling, titled “Introduction to Balmorel”.

Throughout the three-week course, students gained knowledge of energy systems analysis and scenarios, mathematical optimisation, and the energy systems model Balmorel.

Building skills in energy systems modelling

Combining lectures with hands-on exercises in Balmorel, the course gave PhD students a practical grounding in energy systems analysis and mathematical optimisation, preparing them to apply the model in their own research.

Running a PhD course in energy modelling at DTU

The three-week PhD course, “Introduction to Balmorel”, covered energy systems analysis and scenarios, mathematical optimisation, and the energy systems model Balmorel itself.

The course combined lectures with hands-on exercises in Balmorel, developed and refined together with DTU and the course’s collaborators.

PhD students built practical skills in energy systems analysis, mathematical optimisation and the Balmorel model, ready to apply in their own research.
