Department: Faculty 3 - Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Energy Systems
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Ragwitz, Mario
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every winter semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After attending the module "Market Integration of Renewable Energies and Sector Coupling" the student will have a deeper understanding of the challenges and options of the integration of renewable energies into energy markets. Furthermore, the student will be familiar with the definition of sector coupling and the various technologies and organisational options for the integration of energy sectors. Students will understand the impact of the regulatory framework and technology choices on the market integration of renewable energies and will be able to apply methods and tools for analysis of energy markets.
Contents:
  • Scenarios for the development of future energy systems
