Reliable, affordable, and clean energy systems underpin human and economy wellbeing in the United States and globally. As energy systems decarbonize, these three objectives – reliability, affordability, and cleanliness – could come increasingly into tension. This course will provide students an in-depth understanding of and hands-on experience with computational models that we use to operate and plan power systems. While the course will be grounded in the United States context, the model formulations and principles are applicable globally. Projects, problem sets, and readings will reflect diverse stakeholders’ viewpoints and introduce key skills and concepts.
