Course detail
FEKT-MPA-EELAcad. year: 2024/2025
The main goal of the course is to build on the information and knowledge acquired by students during their bachelor studies in economics and ecology of power engineering, and follow up with the issues of economic efficiency in power systems, operation optimization of power systems and business aspect of electricity. The subject Economics of Power Engineering is compulsory, as the knowledge and understanding of the connections between power engineering and the economy are fundamental parts of the knowledge portfolio of engineers and graduates of the Institute of Power Engineering.In this course, emphasis is placed both on a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical basis of power engineering economics and the solution of practical examples and exercises demonstrating dependency and case studies that contribute to a better understanding of the topic. In addition to numerical exercises, the course also includes computer exercises where students learn options to solve many tasks using advanced mathematical and scientific software tools.
