Analysis, Modelling and Simulation of Energy Systems
Note: The course makes it necessary to have at least one personal computer with a Windows based operating system starting from the first lecture. It is recommended to have the program EES (Engineering Equation Solver) installed on onetwo computers before the first lecture. It should be expected that there will be a lot of »hands-on-work« included in lectures.
Lecture Plan
1st.
Mini-module: “Introduction to Engineering Equation Solver (EES) part I”. Introduction to the modelling software
EES – basic purpose, functionality and examples. Solution of the general non-linear problem of multiple equations
using the general multi dimension Newton Raphson method. Usage of guesses and limiting of variable values.
Literature: Lecture notes about EES + Reference Manual (can mainly be used during the solution of assignments).
2nd.
Mini-module: “Introduction to Engineering Equation Solver part II”. Further work with EES. Working with
tables, plots, using array variables and using array operators.
Literature: Lecture notes about EES + Reference Manual (can mainly be used during the solution of assignments).
3rd.
Mini-module (Part I): “Introduction to Engineering Equation Solver part III”. Introduction to procedures, sub
programs and modules – advantages and drawbacks.
Literature: Lecture notes about EES + Reference Manual (can mainly be used during the solution of assignments).
3rd.
Mini-module (Part II): “Basic conservation equations”. Derivation of the stationary forms of 1 st law of
thermodynamics for open- and closed systems and definition of basic thermodynamic relations useful in modelling
of energy systems. The continuity equation (conservation of mass). How to use the 1 st law of thermodynamics and
the continuity equation on a system control volume? Calculation of thermodynamic- and calorimetric properties;
i.e. use of diagrams, tables and use of EES to attain these properties and the importance of choosing unit system.
Literature: Lecture notes about modelling of energy systems.
4th.
Mini-module: “Modelling of system components”. Developing stationary models of thermodynamic components
such as heat exchangers, wind turbines, pumps etc.
Literature: Lecture notes about modelling of energy systems.
5th.
Mini-module: “Advanced conservation laws and structured modelling”. Use of multi-gate methods in the
modelling of energy systems. Conservation of energy in the presence of chemical reaction (in particular
combustion) and calculation of properties of ideal gas mixtures.
Literature: Lecture notes about modelling of energy systems.
6th.
Mini-module: “Modelling of part load conditions part I”. Part-load characteristics for components (i.e. pumps,
turbines, compressors etc.). Usage of characteristics in computer modelling introducing numerical techniques such
as interpolation in ordered tables and multi dimension non-linear regression using the method of least squares.
7th.
Mini-module: “Modelling of part load conditions part II”. An example on an advanced utilisation of part load
modelling. Usage of models in optimisation. Sensitivity- and uncertainty analysis in evaluating sensitive
parameters.
8th.
Mini-module: “Advanced cycles”. Combined-cycle co-production plants, chemical plants (exemplified by a fuel
cell system). Discussion of the term ‘complexity’ and the necessity of detailed- contra lumped modelling. Briefly
about classification of losses (exergy or 2nd law analysis).
9th.
Mini-module: “A primer on optimisation of energy systems”. Choice of objective function (for example economy,
volume, effectiveness operational conditions etc.) and usage of parameter analysis in determining free parameters.
10th.
(?) Mini-module: “Project relevant topic”. Questions regarding your individual projects relating to the subject
(could be placed earlier in the lectures).
Literature
Since the course is covering a very extensive spectre of disciplines there is not one single literary work covering the subject
satisfactory. Therefore, it has been chosen to base the course primarily on lecture notes made by the lecturer supplemented
with articles to the extend this is necessary. However, the following supplementary literature can be recommended for
further studies (please note you do NOT necessarily have to buy any of these books in order to follow the course – please do
not hesitate to contact the lecturer regarding questions about the literature):
