Courses Units
Multicriteria Decision Aiding
To enable the students to approach. formalize and support the decision makers regarding multicriteria decision problems and address uncertainty issues.
Introduction to Theory and Practice of Public Policy Analysis
The objective is to look critically at the strengths, limitations and underlying assumptions of key policy research and analysis tools and problem framing and sensitize students to some of the critical issues of taste, professional responsibility, ethics and values that are associated with policy analysis and research.
Optimization Techniques
The main objective of this course is to build skills for creating models for combinatorial optimization problems and to solve them through exact techniques.
Advanced Topics in Energy Systems
To propose a background knowledge on critical energy issues such environment problems, global and local problems, in order to make students aware of values to refer to when dealing with more specific themes related to energy conversion and, in particular, energy use and management rather than just economics or even technologies. The emphasis on the system approach to tackle the energy issues is permanently stressed as the long lasting and sustainable one.
The course aims also at analyzing the issues faced by regulators and policy-makers in liberalized energy markets. This involves a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of and interactions among different energy and energy-related markets, since events in one given market may be determined or may impact on other markets.
Electric mobility and its impact in electrical grids and electric markets.
Transaction of natural gás networks to hydrogen.
Advanced Topics in Telecommunications
This course addresses the vast domain of telecommunications systems, especially those with high impact on society and, therefore, target of public policies. The student will acquire a global view of these systems from a technological perspective and will study in detail a system or subsystem from a technological perspective and its relationship with public policies.
