Join us on October 6 at 3:30 p.m. for this Sustainable Energy Seminar presentation by Styliani Avraamidou, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering.

Abstract

The shift toward sustainable energy systems is essential for mitigating environmental impacts and achieving long-term resilience. However, this transition presents significant challenges due to the complex spatio-temporal variability of renewable resources, geographic constraints on resource deployment, growing energy and material demands, and the imperative to reduce emissions, all while managing costs. This seminar introduces methods for system-level analysis and optimization of energy transitions. Participants will be introduced to decision-making tools capable of capturing both spatial and temporal variations in resource availability, technological options, production targets, demand profiles, and policy considerations. To illustrate the tools, we will use the energy transition of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus as a case study, demonstrating how these tools can inform sustainable pathway planning and support informed decision-making for complex energy systems.
