Aims
The aim of this module is to provide students with an overview of energy supply generation and distribution. The module will allow students to understand issues related to energy supply by fossil fuels and the drive for the transition to renewable energy and how energy systems interact. On completion of the module, students will be able to assess different approaches to supply energy and understand the requirements for distribution and infrastructure in energy supply.
