Preamble
Dear student, As a fellow student who is currently following the MSc programme in Sustainable Energy Technology and a former board member of the Delft Energy Club, I am involved with energy on a daily basis. Why energy? Because the transition to the more sustainable provision of energy poses some fantastic challenges for engineers. New ways of providing energy will require a complete revolution new technology, new legislation and a completely new way of thinking about and using energy. I relish this challenge. This total revolution will require people who have been educated to the highest standard. Over the past months, I have been carrying out field research with businesses as part of the Delft Energy Initiative and asking them what they expect from the engineers of the future, and energy engineers in particular. My research showed that they often require both specialists and generalists: specialists who can, for example, work on improving the efficient solar cells that are essential for the large-scale use of solar energy, and generalists who take a wider view of energy transformation. Of course, it is possible to choose as I have done to follow a Masters programme that focuses on energy technology. But there are also a large number of energy-related courses which you can choose to follow as electives. I have put together an overview of all the energy-related courses in this book. I hope that this will serve to inspire you to take one of those courses and maybe embark on an exciting career in the energy transition. I wish you the very best of luck! Cline Gaffel If you would like to know more about the study programmes and courses in this book, please contact the teacher concerned or send an e-mail to energy@tudelft.nl.

Assessment
Schriftelijk tentamen, bestaande uit meerkeuze vragen en open vragen.
Course contents
In de modules staat de samenhang tussen het technisch systeem en haar omgeving centraal. Voorbeelden uit de drie milieucompartimenten bodem, lucht en water worden gekoppeld aan de activiteiten in delen van het economisch systeem. Zo is het compartiment lucht direct te koppelen met energieopwekking, maar ook met industrile systemen en de grootschalige eindverwijdering van afval. Aan de hand van voorbeelden worden modellen voor het begrijpen van chemische reacties relevant voor het EWI-domein behandeld en worden methoden voor kwantitatieve analyse
gentroduceerd en geoefend. Na het volgen van de modules is de student in staat systemen in de industrie, de energiesector, watersystemen en het milieu te begrijpen en te analyseren met behulp van systeemdenken en het gebruik van elementaire concepten en modellen t.a.v. chemische binding en energieconversie. In het college SPM1520 zullen de volgende onderwerpen aan bod komen: Systeemmodel voor menselijk handelen in de economie en de omgeving. Systeembenadering voor analyse van systemen (energiesystemen, watersystemen, industrile systemen). Opzetten van massa- en energie balansen voor systeemanalyse. De atmosfeer: processen in de atmosfeer, atmosfeerchemie; luchtverontreiniging, bronnen, putten; (versterkt) broeikaseffect, eenvoudige klimaatmodellen, klimaatverandering.
Energieopwekking, energiegebruik, relatie met het milieu, vormen van energie, verbrandingsreacties; elektrochemie, energie-effecten van chemische reacties; bindingsenergie; reactie enthalpie; entropie, energetisch rendement, Carnotcyclus en Carnotrendement, exergie. Gebruik van aardolie, aardgas, steenkool, mineralen; mineraal kringlopen voor onder meer koolstof, stikstof en zwavel. Reserves, verschillende definities van voorraden en reserves. Chemie als boekhouding; typen van chemische reacties; beoordeling en karakterisering van chemische reacties: conversie, selectiviteit. Eenvoudige modellen voor chemische binding. Stabiliteit van moleculen. Relatie met luchtverontreiniging en fotochemie. Mogelijk bedrijfsexcursie georganiseerd i.s.m. het EWI-dispuut, om de studenten een indruk te geven van de aard en omvang van grootschalige productieinstallaties in de industrie, energie of watersector.
Study goals
In het eerste jaar vindt een eerste uitgebreide kennismaking plaats met het domein Energie, Water en Industrile Systemen (EWI-domein). Er wordt een basis gelegd voor het begrijpen en analyseren van systemen in de industrie, de energiesector, watersystemen en het milieu. De onderlinge samenhang wordt benadrukt en gellustreerd.

Small group assignment, cooperation Batna - Delft.
Course contents
A wide variety of solid and gaseous, mostly fossil, fuels form the basis of our current energy supply. This course deals with understanding the fundamentals of the underlying thermo-chemical conversion (combustion, gasification) processes of these fuels. Combustion calculations for determining the amounts of air and fuel needed, the (adiabatic, stoichiometric) flame temperature and the extent of the reaction limited by thermodynamic equilibrium are dealt with at first. Moreover, aspects of mass transfer during the combustion process are treated subsequently, which gives insight into the combustion of
fuel droplets. Then the kinetics of the reaction and combustion mechanisms for diverse gaseous fuels are studied, like e.g. hydrogen. Of course in industrial practice these reactions proceed in advanced combustion equipment; in order to be able to predict the burnout of fuels and e.g. NOx emissions, simple reactor models for these combustors are dealt with. Renewable fuels and processes for a sustainable future power and heat generation are dealt with in the topic solid fuel conversion. The emission constraints for these special fuels are treated here. The unique feature of the course from this year on is that a cooperation with an Algerian university in Batna is established in such a way that via videoconferencing tools -backed up with collegeramalectures are given by teachers of both universities. As the final assessment, a major assignment is handed out to be worked out in small groups (2-4 students) composed of students cooperating together internationally. During the final lecture short presentations will be given by the groups
on the assignment. The communication will be facilitated by webbased tools. The assignment deals with a renewable biomass/waste based energy conversion system for which combustion calculations and dimensioning is to be performed. The system should be dimensioned in the context of small-scale decentralized energy supply in the Batna area.
Study goals
The student is able to define energy producing systems and components based on the thermal conversion of a broad range of fuels, to discern the major problems related to them and to perform idealised chemical reactor and sub-system calculations related to fuel and product gas constituents. More specifically, the student must be able to: 1. To classify fuels according to their elemental composition, origin, production method, phase and applications. 2. To set up reaction equations for a wide range of energy production related fuel conversion processes and perform balance calculations on mass, molar and volumetric basis. 3. Perform basic ideal gas phase chemical reaction equilibrium calculations to calculate product compositions and extents of reactions. 4. Describe reaction kinetic expressions concerning atomic,
molecular and radical species and apply them in order to solve problems related to the primary conversion of fuels and the formation of emission components. 5. Demonstrate basic knowledge of mass and heat transfer phenomena applied to the chemical conversion of both liquid and solid fuels. 6. Derive equations for idealised model reactors (well-stirred reactor and plug flow reactor concepts) and apply these reactor concepts to solve engineering problems related to the thermal conversion of fuels. 7. Explain the concept of the laminar flame and to calculate its characteristic parameters, like laminar flame speed, flame length and thickness. 8. Describe the technology of fluidised bed reactors and perform calculations of the basic design parameters for such reactors, like the minimum fluidisation velocity, terminal velocity, superficial gas velocity and transport disengagement height. 9. Define and justify the selection of appropriate analysis and characterization techniques for a given thermal conversion system of a wide range of fuels.

Small group assignment, cooperation Batna - Delft.
Course contents
A wide variety of solid and gaseous, mostly fossil, fuels form the basis of our current energy supply. This course deals with understanding the fundamentals of the underlying thermo-chemical conversion (combustion, gasification) processes of these fuels. Combustion calculations for determining the amounts of air and fuel needed, the (adiabatic, stoichiometric) flame temperature and the extent of the reaction limited by thermodynamic equilibrium are dealt with at first. Moreover, aspects of mass transfer during the combustion process are treated subsequently, which gives insight into the combustion of
fuel droplets. Then the kinetics of the reaction and combustion mechanisms for diverse gaseous fuels are studied, like e.g. hydrogen. Of course in industrial practice these reactions proceed in advanced combustion equipment; in order to be able to predict the burnout of fuels and e.g. NOx emissions, simple reactor models for these combustors are dealt with. Renewable fuels and processes for a sustainable future power and heat generation are dealt with in the topic solid fuel conversion. The emission constraints for these special fuels are treated here. The unique feature of the course from this year on is that a cooperation with an Algerian university in Batna is established in such a way that via videoconferencing tools -backed up with collegeramalectures are given by teachers of both universities. As the final assessment, a major assignment is handed out to be worked out in small groups (2-4 students) composed of students cooperating together internationally. During the final lecture short presentations will be given by the groups
on the assignment. The communication will be facilitated by webbased tools. The assignment deals with a renewable biomass/waste based energy conversion system for which combustion calculations and dimensioning is to be performed. The system should be dimensioned in the context of small-scale decentralized energy supply in the Batna area.
Study goals
The student is able to define energy producing systems and components based on the thermal conversion of a broad range of fuels, to discern the major problems related to them and to perform idealised chemical reactor and sub-system calculations related to fuel and product gas constituents. More specifically, the student must be able to: 1. To classify fuels according to their elemental composition, origin, production method, phase and applications. 2. To set up reaction equations for a wide range of energy production related fuel conversion processes and perform balance calculations on mass, molar and volumetric basis. 3. Perform basic ideal gas phase chemical reaction equilibrium calculations to calculate product compositions and extents of reactions. 4. Describe reaction kinetic expressions concerning atomic, molecular and
radical species and apply them in order to solve problems related to the primary conversion of fuels and the formation of emission components. 5. Demonstrate basic knowledge of mass and heat transfer phenomena applied to the chemical conversion of both liquid and solid fuels. 6. Derive equations for idealised model reactors (well-stirred reactor and plug flow reactor concepts) and apply these reactor concepts to solve engineering problems related to the thermal conversion of fuels. 7. Explain the concept of the laminar flame and to calculate its characteristic parameters, like laminar flame speed, flame length and thickness. 8. Describe the technology of fluidised bed reactors and perform calculations of the basic design parameters for such reactors, like the minimum fluidisation velocity, terminal velocity, superficial gas velocity and transport disengagement height. 9. Define and justify the selection of appropriate analysis and characterization techniques for a given thermal conversion system of a wide range of fuels.

Course contents
In the transition to a sustainable-energy future, hydrogen will likely play an important role. Methods for sustainable and renewable hydrogen production include solar, wind power and direct photoelectrolysis of water. The social acceptance of hydrogen requires cheap, safe, lightweight and easy to handle storage of hydrogen. Light metal hydrides, large adsorption surface, and nanostructured materials can provide safe means of storage, but the ultimate solution still needs to be found. The triumph of mobile electronics is largely due to electrical energy storage in the form of batteries. Key properties for rechargeable batteries are storage capacity, power capabilities (the rate with
which the power can be extracted and inserted) and the cycle life. The principle of (rechargeable) batteries, such as alkaline and Li-ion, and the relation of the performance with material properties will be discussed. In addition super-capacitors, allowing fast (dis)charge and based on similar principles, are part of the course. The relation between properties at the atomic level with the real life battery performance will be displayed. This involves basic thermodynamics, chemistry and physics. The students will learn about the efficient production of hydrogen using renewable energy sources, separation technologies for clean hydrogen, materials for the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen, the nano-scale approach, the integration of hydrogen into the energy supply infrastructure, the conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy using fuel cells, and the social acceptance of hydrogen as part of our future energy infrastructure. In addition students will learn about electrical storage in batteries, materials for cheap
and efficient storage. The principles will be explained in terms of basic electrochemistry and thermodynamics. Additionally, the students will get an overview of most recent advances and bottlenecks, synthesis and characterization techniques.
Study goals
This course aims to give insight in the chain of hydrogen production, storage and use, and the devices involved. Electrical storage in the form of batteries will be discussed.

Course contents
In de waterstofeconomie wordt vooral waterstof in de transportsector gebruikt, in bijvoorbeeld de auto, de bus, en de vrachtwagen. Echter, voordat de waterstofeconomie gerealiseerd is moeten nog wel een aantal wetenschappelijke problemen worden opgelost. De wetenschappelijke problemen betreffen vooral het efficinte gebruik van waterstof als brandstof in de brandstofcel, de efficinte productie van waterstof, en hoe waterstof op te slaan in een personenauto zonder dat dit teveel gewicht met zich mee brengt, en/of teveel volume in beslag neemt.
Dit college bespreekt de state-of-the-art op de boven beschreven 3 terreinen, nl. productie van waterstof, brandstofcellen, en waterstofopslag. Het is de bedoeling dat de studenten een overzicht krijgen van waar we staan met de ontwikkeling van de waterstofeconomie, m.a.w., wat zijn de uitdagingen waarvoor wetenschappers zich gesteld zien, hoe dicht zijn we genaderd tot de targets die gesteld zijn t.a.v., bijvoorbeeld, kosten en efficintie van energieomzetting, en welke methoden/ systemen worden als veelbelovend beschouwd door wetenschappers op de drie bovengenoemde terreinen. Het onderdeel productie van waterstof (Roel van de Krol) wordt begonnen met een overzicht van conventionele chemische productiemethodes waarbij waterstof wordt gewonnen uit fossiele brandstoffen. Daarna wordt ingegaan op de duurzame productie van waterstof, bijv. door splitsing van water in waterstof en zuurstof met behulp van zonlicht. De foto-elektrochemische principes, materiaaleigenschappen van halfgeleider
foto-electrodes en recente fundamentele en technologische ontwikkelingen op dit gebied zullen uitgebreid worden behandeld. In het onderdeel brandstofcellen (Marc Koper) zal worden besproken: Overzicht brandstofcellen: verschillende typen naar electrolyt. Temperatuursgebied en toepassingsgebied. Thermodynamica, efficintie. Electrolyten: polymeer, vloeibaar, vaste-stofelectrolyt. Electrodekinetiek en katalyse: basis van de elektrochemie en elektrokatalyse. Enkele voorbeelden van brandstofcellen. Systeemaspecten en integratie. In het onderdeel waterstofopslag (Geert-Jan Kroes) zal worden besproken: Targets DOE (Department of Energy) VS, International Energy Agency. Thermodynamica en kinetiek van waterstofopslag. Conventionele waterstofopslag: in gasvorm onder druk, als vloeistof. Opslag via fysisorptie: aan koolstofverbindingen, in metal organic frameworks, in clathrate hydrates. Opslag in chemische verbindingen: metaalhydriden, complexe
metaalhydriden, organische verbindingen. Systeemaspecten en integratie.
Study goals
Aan het eind van deze cursus is de student in staat om: Conventionele en duurzame (CO2neutrale) processen te beschrijven voor waterstofproductie. Te begrijpen hoe halfgeleiderelectroden en/of deeltjes gebruikt kunnen worden om waterstof te genereren uit water met gebruik van zonlicht. Te begrijpen hoe de eigenschappen van halfgeleiders (ladingstransport, defecten, optische absorptie) de efficintie van zonnecellen en foto-electrochemische cellen benvloeden. De toekomstige uitdagingen in waterstofproductie uit water en zonlicht te beschrijven, inclusief de rol die nanotechnologie hierin kan spelen. Een overzicht te geven van de klassen van methoden voor waterstofopslag (als gas onder druk, als vloeistof, via fysisorptie, en in chemische verbindingen). Een duidelijk beeld te schetsen van voor- en nadelen van de huidige standaardopslagmethode (gasvormig, druk 700 bar).
Een overzicht te geven van aspecten die te maken hebben met de integratie van het opslagsysteem met de rest van het systeem (o.a. brandstofcel). De toekomstige uitdagingen in waterstofopslag te beschrijven: waar liggen nu de beperkingen, wat zijn mogelijke oplossingen. Onderscheid te maken tussen verschillende soorten brandstofcellen op basis van electrolyt, electrodereacties, en werktemperatuur. De belangrijkste uitdagingen te beschrijven voor toekomstig brandstofcelonderzoek, op basis van kennis m.b.t. electrodekinetiek, electrokatalyse, en electrolyttransport. De surface science aspecten van de fundamentele katalyse van brandstofcellen te begrijpen. De engineering aspecten van het ontwerp en de ontwikkeling van brandstofcellen te beschrijven.

Course contents
In the transition to a sustainable-energy future, hydrogen will likely play an important role. Methods for sustainable and renewable hydrogen production include solar, wind power and direct photoelectrolysis of water. The social acceptance of hydrogen requires cheap, safe, light weight and easy to handle storage of hydrogen. Light metal hydrides, large adsorption surface, and nanostructured materials can provide safe means of storage, but the ultimate solution still needs to be found. The triumph of mobile electronics is largely due to electrical energy storage in the form of batteries. Key properties for rechargeable batteries are storage capacity, power capabilities (the rate with
which the power can be extracted and inserted) and the cycle life. The principle of (rechargeable) batteries, such as alkaline and Li-ion, and the relation of the performance with material properties will be discussed. In addition super-capacitors, allowing fast (dis)charge and based on similar principles, are part of the course. The relation between properties at the atomic level with the real life battery performance will be displayed. This involves basic thermodynamics, chemistry and physics. The students will learn about the efficient production of hydrogen using renewable energy sources, separation technologies for clean hydrogen, materials for the safe and efficient storage of hydrogen, the nano-scale approach, the integration of hydrogen into the energy supply infrastructure, the conversion of hydrogen into electrical energy using fuel cells, and the social acceptance of hydrogen as part of our future energy infrastructure. In addition students will learn about electrical storage in batteries, materials for cheap
and efficient storage. The principles will be explained in terms of basic electrochemistry and thermodynamics. Additionally, the students will get an overview of most recent advances and bottlenecks, synthesis and characterization techniques.
Study goals
This course aims to give insight in the chain of hydrogen production, storage and use, and the devices involved. Electrical storage in the form of batteries will be discussed. Physical and materials science advances that are required to bring forward hydrogen and batteries as energy carriers will be highlighted.

Firms, large and small, operate and take decisions concerning prices, output, and investment within the constraints set by (i) demand, (ii) technology, (iii) market structure, and (iv) government (via the legal framework and public policies). Taking the firm as the principal actor, this course introduces the students to microand meso-economic theories describing and analysing: Which factors determine the
structure of (consumer) demand. How technology affects firm behaviour and market structure. How market processes direct the activities of firms in meeting consumer demands. How variations and imperfections in market structures affect the success with which market processes intermediate between producers and consumers. Why markets often fail in their role of bringing producers activities and consumers demand into harmony. The course will also consistently focus on the government as an actor/stakeholder, and address the issue how public policy intervention can improve market performance.

Course contents
Het vak WM0917TU Duurzame Economische Ontwikkeling (6 ECTS) bestaat uit twee delen. Het eerste deel (4 ECTS) richt zich specifiek op economie en duurzaamheid (en valt samen met het vak WM0615TU Milieu-Economie). Centraal staan de volgende vragen: zijn economische groei en ontwikkeling en (ecologische) duurzaamheid strijdig? Hoe kunnen de hoge en stijgende milieukosten
van economische groei (lucht-, wateren bodemverontreiniging; het door menselijk handelen veroorzaakte gat in de ozonlaag; het opraken van de (fossiele) energievoorraden; het broeikaseffect en de klimaatverandering; en de voortdurend groeiende afvalstromen) worden beperkt of zelfs verminderd? welke rol speelt technologische vooruitgang in het verlagen van de milieukosten per eenheid produkt? Wat houdt bedrijven tegen om milieuefficinter te gaan produceren, wat zijn de voor- en nadelen van (overheidsgestuurde) prikkels om dit te bewerkstelligen? Het tweede deel (2 ECTS) biedt verdere verdieping door het bestuderen van het boek van James Gustave Speth (2009) over kapitalisme, milieu en de transitie naar een duurzame economie. In beide onderdelen van de cursus zal aandacht worden besteed aan de internationale verhoudingen tussen de rijke westerse landen (Noord) en de ontwikkelingslanden (Zuid).
Study goals
De leerdoelen van WM0917TU zijn: (1) inzicht verwerven in de wisselwerking tussen het economische en ecologische systeem, en in de rol die technologische vooruitgang hierin speelt; en (2) kennis verkrijgen over de wijze waarop milieubeleid en milieuregulering de economie benvloedt.

Course contents
Dit college wil een breed overzicht geven van filosofische aspecten, achtergronden en vooronderstellingen van de milieuproblematiek en het daaruit voortkomende streven naar duurzame ontwikkeling. Vragen die aan de orde komen zijn onder meer: Wat voor soort eisen kun je stellen aan de manier waarop de mens met het milieu omgaat? Welke rol speelt de relatie tussen mens en milieu en tussen mens en natuur in de milieuproblematiek? Gelden er bijzondere morele criteria voor de omgang van de mens met natuur en milieu? Hoe hangen de verschillende criteria (bijv. instrumentele en morele) voor de omgang met het milieu samen? Hoe vertalen zulke criteria zich in opvattingen over milieubeleid en economische overwegingen daarin? Wat betekent duurzaamheid en welke filosofische uitdagingen kleven aan dit begrip?
Education method
Het college bestaat uit 6 sessies van elk 2 uur. Aanwezigheid is in principe verplicht, deels omdat elke deelnemer geacht wordt een stukje verantwoordelijkheid te dragen voor het verzorgen van een college. Elke student presenteert een deel van de leerstof tijdens de college-uren, waarna de stof uitgebreid behandeld wordt. Een deel van de stof dient zelfstandig bestudeerd te worden. Er wordt getracht voor een van de colleges een gastdocent uit de politiek uit te nodigen.
Assessment
Toetsing geschiedt op basis van een schriftelijk tentamen aan het eind van de onderwijsperiode. Tevens zijn de presentaties tijdens de colleges medebepalend voor het cijfer. De opzet van het college en de wijze van het tentamineren worden op het eerste college uitgebreid behandeld.
Study goals
Doel van dit college is studenten inzicht te geven in de verscheidenheid aan aspecten van de milieuproblematiek en de vooronderstellingen in het debat daarover. Kennismaking met de belangrijkste opvattingen over de relatie tussen mens en milieu en de uitwerking van die opvattingen in het publieke debat over de milieuproblematiek.

Marine Pipelines concentrates on three aspects of subsea pipeline design: Pipeline Design: The internal and structural design of pipelines for oil, gas and multiphase (liquid gas) flows. Pipelines are dimensioned based upon flow in relation to properties of the transported material as well as capital expenditure and operating costs involved. The need for and means of providing thermal insulation is discussed including the measures of assuring flow in pipelines.
Pipeline Route Selection: Routing of pipelines through the sea as well as their shore approaches are covered. Special attention is given to sub-sea tie-ins, pipeline and cable crossings, pipeline protection from fishing gear, shore approaches and pipeline trenching. The consequences of pipeline temperature changes and upheaval buckling are integral aspects of this topic as well as the on-bottom stability (pipelines on or in the sea bed). Pipelines Installation/Construction: This segment presents current and new technologies for the installation of pipelines in varying water depths, ranging from a few meters to depths measured in kilometres coupled with the role which installation plays in the design of a pipeline. Special attention is given to supporting finite element analysis (FEM) calculations, construction start-up, sea-bed lay-down, tie-ins and to welding technology. A classroom exercise is included as an integral aspect of the knowledge gained.

The environment maximisation method is one directed towards design, in which environmental themes set the structure for the design. On the basis of the brief for a neighbourhood (approximately 2000 dwellings with facilities) and the available location, a number of environmental themes are maximised in a workshop. These include: Landscape and soil; Flora and fauna; Water; Mobility; Energy; Waste. An outline of the best structure for the environment is provided on the basis of the environmental constraints in question. These sketches are then examined to see which reinforce and which contradict one another. The various maximisations are then optimised. It is also discussed which topics should be regarded as primary and which as secondary. In this way a number of variants are developed for the neighbourhood. These are used as the basis for preparing a design and for maximisation at neighbourhood and block
level, with which the workshop concludes. The exercise is held in the form of a workshop during a concentrated period of one to two weeks. Time commitment (total): 56 course load hours (approx. 18 hours contact time, approx. 38 hours individual study). Required materials: sketching materials.
Assessment
Assessment is based on three presentations and the end-product. The final result is a design for a district, neighbourhood and/or block with oral presentation and written commentary, capable of being understood without further explanation.
Course contents

Education method
The course is taught through a series of interactive lectures. Students are encouraged to read upfront material provided by the lecturer. For approximately six selected lectures students are required to supply questions to guest- lecturers based on this reading material. Students are required to hand in two dilemma assignments, focusing on 1) design dilemmas they are expected to be confronted with in their PAP project (at the beginning of the course), and 2) focusing on how they handled those dilemmas (at the end of the course). In addition, students are required to do a Life-Cycle Stakeholder Analysis Assignment, for which relevant information, material and money flows during the lifecycle of a product need to be identified, analyzed and presented, both from an economical and an environmental perspective.
It is encouraged that all assignments are done in relation to the Project Advanced Products cases, but it is also possible to participate in Life Cycle Engineering & Design independent of PAP; in this case substitute assignments will be provided. Students are also required to fulfill a dimensional analysis project. The course will be concluded by a written exam.
Assessment
Handing in questions 10% of grade. Dilemma Assignments 10% of grade. Life Cycle Stakeholder Analysis Assignment 25% of grade Dimensional Analysis 15% of grade Written Exam 40% of grade. The written exam will be closed-book, and will mainly consist of open questions.
Course contents
The aim of Life Cycle Engineering and Design is to challenge students to think in life cycles instead of products. Several phases of a product life cycle will receive specific attention through lectures which will focus on the state-of-the-art of that field. Furthermore tools for designers to deal with life cycles, or phases thereof,
will receive attention, as will the perspectives of different stakeholders related to the life cycle of products. Specific subjects can differ somewhat from year to year, but energy consumption of products in the use phase will receive explicit attention. The knowledge in this course will provide a theoretical basis as well as input on how to make this basis operational in design projects, which could be the Project Advanced Products and graduation projects, but most importantly professional industrial design engineering careers.
Skills that contribute to the successful simulation, prototyping and evaluation of improved and new products, making maximum use of new technologies and Life Cycle Engineering and Design concepts and tools.
Course material
(Pre-lecture) reading material, lecture slides, and additional sources made available via the Blackboard.

Course contents
Over their life cycle, consumer and professional products are responsible for a significant part of todays world energy use. Although the eco-efficiency of individual products has improved over the years, todays mass (hyper-)consumption trend results in a net growth of product related energy at global level. Renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) and human powered energy, new energy carriers such as fuel cells, intelligent management of product energy systems and adapted user behaviour might jointly contribute to the
creation of novel, more sustainable product systems: Smart Energy Products. In addition to the product innovation methodology and novel product energy technologies, examples and demonstration projects such as electronic products, the human powered radio, the Nuna, the Frisian PV-boat challenge, fuel cells for cars etc. will serve as illustrative examples. Part of the course is the conceptual design, in small groups, of a challenging future smart energy product.
Study goals
The course aims at introducing the basic methodology of product development, to be applied to the area of mobile products (from consumer portables to boats) in combination with renewable energy sources and smart energy management.
