UNIVERSITY COURSE ON TRNSYS SIMULATION

["Chris Bales" <cba@xxxxx>]

Hello

The Solar Energy Research Center SERC at Dalarna University in Sweden has
now created a 4.5 ECTS credits course on dynamic system simulations, with
the program used being Trnsys. It has been designed for the students on our
masters course in solar energy (www.eses.org), so that they get the basics
of simulation techniques and to get them started with actual simulations
using TRNSYS. It is thus suitable for most people wanting to get started
with TRNSYS. SERC has been a TRNSYS developer and user for many years.

The course is open to anyone with the equivalent of a BSc. The course is in
English and as it is a University course, the tuition is free of charge.
Lodging and other costs have to be paid for by the participants.

The time table for the course is as follows:
20/1 - 24/1 2003: One week intensive study in Borlänge at SERC (mixture of
lectures, practical work and home work, seminars)
24/1 - 9/3 2003:  Project work at normal work place/home
10-11/3 2003: Final seminar where all projects are presented.

The project work is done "at home" and the student thus needs to have access
to Trnsys there. During the project period, the students have access to the
supervisors for either telephone help or by email. Work reports will be
expected every two weeks to make sure that the students are progressing
properly.

Trnsys 15 will be used on the course.

More information on the course can be found at:

If you would like to apply for the course, mail me and I can send you an
application form with the correct course and application codes already
filled in.

Best wishes

Chris Bales
