Introduction and consolidation

Learning outcomes of the courses/module

The students are able to:
• apply basic laws of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to questions of energy technology
• comprehend processes of energy conversion and calculate technical key figures
• reproduce and explain definitions of current and voltage, electric and magnetic field as well as Ohm's law and electromagnetic induction
• question technical correlations of a task described in detail and delimited from the field of electrical engineering
• describe technologies and procedures for the use of regenerative heat and electricity and name individual processes and present characteristic values
• discuss requirements for the system integration of renewable energies into the general energy supply and evaluate the potential of sector coupling in this context
