Certificate of Achievement
has completed the following course:
Energy Systems Integration: An Introduction
EIT InnoEnergy
Participants learn how energy vectors – fuels, electricity and heating – interact and how to find added value at the interfaces between them. Also, how to build insights into the ways in which energy systems connect to other infrastructures, such as data networks, water, and transportation systems. And, how consumer psychology and society have a role in building a more sustainable, reliable and cost-effective energy system.
