Modules

Prerequisites

Contents

• Introduction into energy supply and transport system • Storages for compensation of fluctuating energy infeed • Mechanical storages (e.g. flywheels, pumped hydro storage) • Electrical storages (e.g. batteries) • Gas storages, hydrogen and chemical storages • Heat storages • Grid integration of storages, using in energy supply

Learning outcomes

Students will get an understanding how energy systems work and why energy storages are needed. They get an overview which “use-cases” are capable for storages. Students are able to compare the different types of storage technologies and know their advantages and disadvantages. They will have a basic overview about grid integration of storages and which problems occur with storage using in energy supply. Students will also faced with basic knowledge for economic aspects of storage production and operation costs.

Assessment

• Written examination, 90 minutes OR • Online examination, 90 minutes OR • Oral examination, 30 minutes (The corresponding regulation for each semester will be announced in the first lecture.)
