In the course "Renewable Energy Integration in Electric Networks" (REI) the learning will be supported by a model-based approach. Models of renewable energy systems in the grid will be developed step by step. This includes the conversion stages from the source to the grid. Different types of system dynamics are considered. Control systems are designed. Smart grid topics such as virtual power plants and microgrids are discussed.
The course "Renewable Energy Technology in Electric Networks" (RET) covers the topic of renewable resources, including wind, sun, tides and biomass as well as their significance for energy supply. The learning will be supported by a model-based approach. At the beginning, the focus lies on a photovoltaic plant. The modeling comprises irradiation and maximum-power-point-tracking. Furthermore, the modeling of wind energy conversion systems is considered. Other topics include battery application, fuel cells, and tidal energy.
