Breve Introdução
Objectives
The minor “Energy for the Future” has the objective of providing IST students, independently from their major, the competences to understand the challenges of the energy systems of the future. Currently, energy systems are responsible for 65% of the green-house gases emissions. Therefore, the fight against climate change requires the transition of energy systems to more sustainable systems, with reduced environmental impacts, while maintaining the security of supply and economically accessible to all. This minor offers the foundation knowledge to contribute to solve this societal challenge, which is expected to be one of the domains that will generate more jobs in the coming 30 years, not only in Europe but around the world. The basic training consists of the courses “Renewable Sources and Distributed Power Generation”, “Energy Storage” and “Energy Systems Management”, that cover all the value-chain of future energy systems. For students that seek to diversify their training, it is possible to choose “Economics and Energy Markets” and “Data Analytics for Smart-Grids”, that cover complementary dimensions for the future of energy systems.
