Veranstaltung

The lecture provides a techno-economic overview of different infrastructures of the energy system and their importance regarding the future energy system (“Energiewende”) – in particular

• for electricity:
  • the supply side (e.g. power plants)
  • the demand side (e.g. load structures of appliances, flexibilities) as well as
  • transport infrastructures (electricity grids)
• for fuel transportation:
  • pipeline infrastructures (focus on natural gas)
  • shipping of LNG
  • crude oil and oil product transportation
  • hydrogen transportation
  • comparison of potential energy carriers for global trade of renewable energy (e.g., hydrogen and its derivates, e-fuels, reactive metals)
• storage systems (e.g. batteries)

Additionally, the lecture provides a toolbox for energy system analysis such as an overview and classification of energy systems modelling approaches as well as the usage of scenario techniques for energy systems analysis.

The lecture also provides practical examples for the relevant methods presented.
