Energy Systems and Renewable Energies

Limiting climate change is one of the biggest worldwide challenges of the 21st century. Implementing smart, integrated energy solutions and developing new and clean technologies helps meeting this key objective. Therefore, there is a need for engineers specialised in energy systems and renewable energies and the integration of these technologies in the energy system. The Bachelor's programme in Energy Systems and Renewable Energies meets these demands. This Bachelor's programme is taught in English, and it welcomes both German and international students. Main contents: Specialised contents in renewable energies with high practical orientation Science Fundamentals like Mathematics, Thermodynamics, Mechanics, Fluid-Mechanics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering: Mechanical Design, CAD, Material Science, Product Development Energy Generation: Solar Energy, Wind Energy, Hydro Energy, Biomass, Geothermal Energy Energy Systems: Smart Cities, Industry Supply Systems, Smart Buildings, Energy Markets, Sector Coupling Special Components in Energy Systems: Combined Heat and Power Plants, Heat Pumps, Batteries, Fuel Cells New Energy Carriers and New Concepts for Mobility: E-Mobility, Biomethane, Hydrogen, Power to Gas, Power to Heat This innovative contents will allow students to understand complex energy systems in an international context. Specialised software is used in order to simulate and better understand the contents of the different courses. This is the backbone needed for solving the demanding challenges of future energy systems. At the same time, the students acquire the ability to carry out economic assessments of energy supply concepts in order to prepare investment decisions. These economic analyses together with the knowledge of entrepreneurship and sustainability enable them to take on responsible positions in companies. Graduates of the course are prepared for specialist and managerial tasks in the following areas: Sustainable energy generation and distribution Development, production and operation of energy technology plants and energy systems Planning of energy systems and energy consulting
