I have co-led the course Energy Transitions During Energy Crisis: Cape Town's Experience for the past two years (2024/2025, 2025/2026) through the Bass Connections program, which offers project-based learning opportunities to both undergraduate and graduate students. The course introduces students to modeling techniques used to analyze Cape Town’s ongoing energy crisis, where residents face periodic load shedding—scheduled power outages caused by system constraints and aging infrastructure.
The first eight weeks serve as an intensive “bootcamp,” during which we, alongside invited guest lecturers, provide students with the project context and essential modeling skills. For the remainder of the year, students work in smaller teams, each focusing on a specific modeling approach. These approaches are designed to interconnect (see figure to the left), allowing the class to collectively assess the implications of different energy policies for Cape Town’s energy transition.
