KINGS Students Tackle Energy Transition Challenges
At Interactive.li, we are passionate about delivering engaging presentations that stimulate dialogue and inspire action. Recently, we had the opportunity to collaborate with KEPCO International Nuclear Graduate School (KINGS) to equip young professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the transition from coal-based energy production.
Unveiling the Complexity
Phasing out coal, though vital for fighting climate change, presents a complex challenge. Historically, coal has been a cornerstone of affordable energy production, yet it carries significant environmental repercussions. Socially and culturally, coal mining is deeply ingrained in certain communities, making the transition disruptive. Additionally, coal provides dispatchable, 24/7 electricity and district heating, and a variety of grid services. Replacing it with intermittent renewables can potentially affect the entire energy system.
An Immersive Learning Experience
Central to our engagement with KINGS students was a live interactive session. Divided into groups, the participants were tasked with designing a coal-free energy mix for a hypothetical country with specific demands for electricity, district heating, and hydrogen. The use of an energy system simulator allowed students to see the concrete implications of their choices and fostered healthy competition and collaboration.
Learning Through Gamification
By incorporating gamification principles into the session, we created a captivating and stimulating environment, transforming passive learning into an active and enjoyable experience. Through simulations and group interactions, participants not only absorbed theoretical knowledge but also actively participated in problem-solving, gaining a deeper insight into the complexities of energy transition issues.
