About the course
The aim of the course is to provide comprehensive information in all contexts so that the participant is able to orientate in the key processes of electricity trading in Europe. The course also focuses on understanding the principles of electricity market liberalization and gaining an overview of other important areas of energy. The course also discusses the issue of business planning at the national and international level, including related legislative aspects. The course also introduces participants to the typical IT environment of transmission systems - all from the point of view of electricity and gas. The perspective of energy is extended by lectures focused on HVDC (ie the area of submarine interconnectors), a highly current topic of electromobility, but also the applied area of prediction methods.
