Projects & Seminars: Technical and Economic Aspects of Renewable Energy Supply
Projekte & Seminare: Technical and Economic Aspects of Renewable Energy Supply
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:02:05
Abstract
The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work.
Objective
More and more sustainable and renewable energy technologies are used for electricity generation to cope with climate change. These distributed resources transform the electric power grid and impose major challenges. In this seminar, students have the opportunity to glance at cutting-edge research in the field of power systems. Possible research questions might be: - How to integrate distributed energy generation like PV plants and wind turbines into the electricity grid? - What challenges does the increasing share of electric vehicles and batteries impose on the power grid? - How to cope for the uncertain generation capacity of renewables and how to forecast it? - How does the electricity market work and how do the new sources of flexibility transform it? Students will prepare a presentation and a report on their individual research question, which is based on an assigned paper. The main objectives are to practice literature review, scientific writing and presenting. Students will learn to independently understand specific research results – a crucial skill for academic research including semester and master projects. The language of instruction is English. Registrations for the seminar are binding.
