About the course

The course initially involves an introduction to Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) and related projects in accordance with their main advantages and disadvantages. It will then provide for a decomposition analysis of RETs into several sustainability criteria and describe the need for an integrated assessment of competing projects. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis methods will be introduced as an appropriate operational tool in renewable energy planning and their relevance will be highlighted in the context of wind power.

Outline for distance course: The course is given as a net-based course. A forum for discussion is available. To participate in the course you will need a computer with internet connection.
