The Energy Systems module will encompass the linkages and interactions between the upstream to downstream elements of the full energy system: covering resource extraction, production and trade; upstream processes (power generation, refineries, bio and hydrogen production); energy infrastructures (electricity, natural gas and heat), and major energy demand sectors (industry, commercial, residential, transport). It will encompass the overlapping spatial scales of the energy system’s drivers and outcomes; from individuals through communities, to nations, and to global interactions. It will encompass the overlapping temporal scales of the energy system; from half-hourly operational requirements, through seasonal variability, to capital investments and through to long-term technological and societal change.

You will take forward the unit themes, together with personal ideas and concepts from BARC0137, and develop these to become a complete building project. One that is sited, fully drawn up and physically modelled.

The emphasis in this project is on an in-depth design development. You must demonstrate that you have a personal way of working which allows you to flesh out an initial idea so that it becomes a comprehensive and sophisticated proposal. The marks for this course unit are allocated both to the initial parts of the project and to the development of the main strategic aspects of the design.

Your project must be presented completed for examination. Appropriate communication techniques are necessary, which could include final and working/testing...
