Theoretical assumptions of risk technologies; Criteria and methods of risk assessment and evaluation of the incident consequences; Treating the problem by numerical and computing techniques; Problems of development and application of simulating models and communication software. A part of the course is conducted through independent research in the field of simulation and risk assessment of energy systems. The research includes active monitoring of primary scientific resources, organization and execution of experiments and statistical analysis, numerical simulation, possibly writing a paper in the field of the subject.
