Title: | STAN 2.6 Workshop !!! CANCELLED !!! |
|
Language: | English | |
Date: | 24-25 June 2019 each day 09:00 to 16:00 |
|
Location: | TU Wien IT Lecture Room of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Karlsplatz 13 A-1040 Vienna Austria |
|
Content: | The workshop is for all who are interested in Material Flow Analysis. You will learn the basics of MFA and get an introduction into the best practice how to use the multiple features and possibilities of freeware STAN 2.6.
Day 1: Basics of MFA and statistics, interactive introduction to STAN 2.6, exercises For more details see: Contents of STAN workshop. |
|
Trainer: | The workshop will be held by Oliver Cenčič from TU Wien, Institute for Water Quality and Resource Management. His main expertise is in modelling of material flows under the consideration of data uncertainties. Since 2004, he is supervising the development of STAN, and since 2006, he is regularly offering STAN user workshops. He is the author of two chapters in the "Handbook of Material Flow Analysis" (Brunner & Rechberger, 2017) about "Treatment of Data Uncertainties in MFA" and "MFA with software STAN". |
|
Participation Fee: | The Participation fee includes participation in two workshop days, workshop documentation, meals and refreshments. EUR 650 (regular) For registrations until 28 April 2019, we offer a EUR 50 Early Bird Discount! Additionally, the following discounts are granted (if applicable): http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups The participation fee does not include possible evening come together (optional), accommodation and traveling expenses. |

Contents of STAN workshop
- Creating graphical models with processes, flows, stocks, subsystems, text fields, system boundary and legend (best practice examples).
- Using multiple data layers (goods, substances, energy).
- Considering multiple periods of time.
- Using subgoods (sum of subgoods = good) instead of substances (sum of considered substances ≤ good).
- Manual entry of data (masses, volumes, energies, concentrations, transfer coefficients).
- Semi-automatical import/export of data by using MS Excel as interface.
- Using predefined or user defined units (for mass, volume, energy and time).
- Considering data uncertainties (assumed to be normally distributed).
- Documentation of components and values used in the STAN model (e.g. the source of data).
- Performing calculations by using mathematical statistical tools such as nonlinear data reconciliation (to adjust conflicting measurements or estimates) and error propagation (to compute the uncertainty of unknown quantities that can be calculated).
- Detecting errors in a model.
- Scaling MFA results with respect to the sum of imports flows, the sum of export flows or an arbitrary chosen factor.
- Displaying the results of the MFA as Sankey-style diagram.
- Exporting system graphs in various graphical formats.
- Accessing and using the database of STAN files on www.stan2web.net.
Exercises covered:
- Regional Material Flow Analysis (basic MFA)
- Regional Glass Bottle Household (subsystems and scaling of data)
- Waste Management Strategy (scenario analysis with subsystems)
- Waste Incineration Plant (substance flow analysis for Cd, importing data, data reconciliation)
- MFA on Company Level (error propagation)
- Regional Phosphorous Fluxes (challenging substance flow analysis)
- Costs & Money (using the energy layer to model money flows)
- MFA with Subgood Layers (using subgoods)
- Error Finding Mission (strategies to detect errors)
- Stock Modelling (combing Excel and STAN models)
