- Description/content
- The Master's programme in Renewable Energy Systems (RES) aims at providing graduates with the skills required to successfully plan, develop, and control energy systems. Graduates will be familiar with renewable energy technologies and able to expand their professional knowledge.
The main focus is not on single technologies. Rather, it is on the interrelation between these technologies and the structure of the demand side. In particular, graduates should be able to work in an international working environment, dealing successfully with intercultural challenges.
The following modules are part of the curriculum:
• Introductory Laboratory Course
• Production Oriented Energy Systems
• Off-Grid Energy Systems
• Urban Area Energy Systems
• Numerical Methods and Simulation Techniques
• Energy Efficiency and Energy Management
• System Analysis and Control
• Energy Policies and Markets
• Hydrogen in Energy Technology and Energy Markets
• Thesis
• Optional Internship
It is also possible (but not compulsory) to study the RES programme as a dual course of study. Students of the dual Master's degree programme will complete two internships over semesters one and two.
