12165 - Renewable Energy Technologies for Power Supply Modulübersicht

Module Number: 12165
Module Title:Renewable Energy Technologies for Power Supply
  Energieerzeugung auf Basis erneuerbarer Energien
Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Röntzsch, Lars
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:Students acquire advanced knowledge in the design, operation, and application of renewable energy systems, including solar energy (solar thermal and photovoltaics), wind energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy (both near-surface and deep), biomass, and energy storage technologies, with a focus on hydrogen technology. They can analyze and reflect on the interactions between these subfields, considering their technical and ecological implications, and are capable of making scientifically grounded judgments within the discipline. Students develop the ability to formulate their own research questions and address them using appropriate scientific methods. They can effectively engage in domain-specific and interdisciplinary discussions, presenting complex topics clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences. Additionally, they demonstrate the ability to independently acquire new knowledge and apply it to solve and critically evaluate application- or research-oriented challenges.
