| 227-0085-14L | Projects & Seminars: Technical and Economic Aspects of Renewable Energy Supply  Does not take place this semester. Only for Electrical Engineering and Information Technology BSc. The course unit can only be taken once. Repeated enrollment in a later semester is not creditable. | 3 credits | 3P | G. Hug | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The category of "Laboratory Courses, Projects, Seminars" includes courses and laboratories in various formats designed to impart practical knowledge and skills. Moreover, these classes encourage independent experimentation and design, allow for explorative learning and teach the methodology of project work. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | More and more sustainable and renewable energy technologies are used for electricity generation to cope with climate change. These distributed resources transform the electric power grid and impose major challenges. In this seminar, students have the opportunity to glance at cutting-edge research in the field of power systems. Possible research questions might be: - How to integrate distributed energy generation like PV plants and wind turbines into the electricity grid? - What challenges does the increasing share of electric vehicles and batteries impose on the power grid? - How to cope for the uncertain generation capacity of renewables and how to forecast it? - How does the electricity market work and how do the new sources of flexibility transform it? Students will prepare a presentation and a report on their individual research question, which is based on an assigned paper. The main objectives are to practice literature review, scientific writing and presenting. Students will learn to independently understand specific research results – a crucial skill for academic research including semester and master projects. The language of instruction is English. Registrations for the seminar are binding. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Learning objective | Das Thema Energie ist aktueller denn je: Klimawandel, Versorgungssicherheit, Benzinpreise, Winterstromlücke, Energiestrategie, ….. die Liste ist lang. Aber was können und sollten wir als Gesellschaft tun? Ist es richtig auf Elektroautos umzusteigen und wo kommt der benötigte Strom her? Wären Autos mit Wasserstoffantrieb nicht viel besser? Und wenn ja, als Verbrennungsmotor oder mit Brennstoffzelle? Wieviel Fläche kann und muss in der Schweiz mit Solarzellen bedeckt werden um genügend grünen Strom zu erzeugen wenn die AKWs abgeschaltet sind? Und sind diese auf den Hausdächern im Mittelland, oder über und neben den Autobahnen, oder in den Alpenregionen? Ist nicht das Risiko eine Blackouts grösser je mehr erneuerbare Energien wir nutzen? Und warum sollen Atomkraftwerke davor schützen? Oder betrifft das eher die Winterstromlücke? Die Liste der Fragen ist lang und deren Beantwortung vielschichtiger als man denkt. In diesem Kurs beschäftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Themen zur Frage «Energiewende in der Schweiz». Sie bearbeiten in Gruppen jeweils ihr eigenes Projekt und beantworten eine selber gewählte Fragestellung. Sie werden dabei sowohl experimentieren als auch abschätzende Berechnungen durchführen. Zum Abschluss des P&S präsentieren die einzelnen Gruppen die Erkenntnisse aus ihren Untersuchungen und fassen diese in einem Bericht zusammen. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
