Abstract

The module includes the supply of the road mobility of the future with renewable energy. The generation, transport, processing, transfer of energy to the vehicles (refueling, charging) and the energetic evaluation are presented. Electricity, hydrogen, biogenic and synthetic fuels are considered.

Objective

The aim of the module is a detailed energetic and technical understanding of the supply of road vehicles with renewable energy. Graduates know the primary energy production as well as the end energy processing of the different energy carrier concepts. In addition, they know the legal CO2 requirements for vehicle registration and are able to qualitatively assess the impact on the Swiss energy system.

Content

- The energy system of the future; biogenic and electric renewable primary energy - End energy processing - Transfer from the energy system to mobility and influences on the overall energy system
