What is an ideal coursework portfolio for gradstudents studying energy (especially macroenergysystems, energy policy analysis, etc.) from an operationsresearch perspective?
Here is one that I came up with while preparing to discuss this topic with my research group. While this portfolio is designed to fit our course offerings and PhD program requirements at The University of Texas at Austin.
My comment on the post.
It is ORIE of Energy. I think at least one subject is named energy industrial engineering. Energy is part of IE definition.

Traditional methods for assessing the resource adequacy (RA) of a power system are becoming obsolete due to emerging trends such as the increasing deployment of variable renewable energy and storage. Consequently, analysts are recommending that RA be assessed using a Monte Carlo simulation approach that models chronological power system operations over many instances of possible operating conditions. However, this approach is necessarily more complex and computationally demanding, which is an obstacle to real-world implementation. Here, in this study, we investigate which operational details of power systems are important to capture in order to accurately evaluate a system's RA, versus details that add complexity but do not meaningfully affect RA results. To do so, we develop a probabilistic RA assessment framework by adapting an existing production cost model and apply it to a case study based on the IEEE Reliability Test System. Our results indicate that multi-year data, storage dispatch, and transmission limits are key details to incorporate. Accurate RA results can be obtained using non-economic dispatch strategies as long as they are coordinated with detailed operational strategies. We also demonstrate how popular expectation-based RA metrics can mask important differences in the characteristics of loss of load events.

How do conventional energy system optimization models, with a least-cost objective, fail to capture the complexities of the clean energy transition? What alternative formulations should be considered?
