Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Introduction to the thematic scope • Technologies suitable for application in MicroGrids • Objectives and operating scenarios for the operation of MicroGrids • Interactions between operating strategy and component selection and dimensioning • Control and monitoring of operation by control systems • Practical examples for the dimensioning of components and corresponding networks • Student presentations (as group or single) about current topics. The presentations are scored. The marks achieved are included in the calculation of the overall grade.

Learning outcomes

After participating in the module, students will have a good command of the basic technologies and components suitable for system operation in MicroGrids. They will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the interaction of the individual components depending on the objectives for the operation of the MicroGrid. Basic engineering design methods are developed among the students. They are familiar with the technical application fields and practical use cases for MicroGrids. The students learn to work independently and can reflect on their learning process. They are able to work together in a team and to jointly work on selected issues of the dimensioning and operation of MicroGrids and to present them to the seminar audience.

Assessment

• a student presentation (as group or single) about current topics, approx. 20 min (20%) • a written examination (80 minutes duration) OR an oral examination (30 minutes duration) (80%) Written and oral exams can be conducted in personal attendance or in an online format.Until the end of the first three weeks of lectures it will be announced, if the examination will be offered in written or oral form.
