Gestão de Sistemas de Energia

A very introductory course. We had the evaluation in form of the creation of an energy management system on Mars that should be created in Excel. Personally, I think as a first course on energy systems this is a valid project, obviously very subjective to evaluate. The MAPs are simply a copy of the previous years though meaning that spending 2h on that will help you more to pass the course than spending it in any other way.

It's a very broad course and you do learn a lot of useful things, especially if it's one of your first classes related to energy. However, the assessment is unfair and chaotic.

You basically have three online tests (they don’t even check if you’re in class, so you can cheat as much as you want), and only your best two grades count. The other part of the assessment is a project using EnergyPLAN, which in my opinion is a terrible and pretty useless software. You have to simulate different scenarios for energy systems in Portugal. In theory, it should be fun and a great learning experience, but...
