Simulation of Energy Systems with Renewable Energies

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Simulation of Energy Systems with Renewable Energies
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Energy system technology / Renewable energies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022
Module code: EE1638
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
1V+3P (4 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
5
Semester: 6

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

EE1638 (P212-0093) Energy system technology / Renewable energies, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2022 , semester 6, optional course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Marc Deissenroth-Uhrig
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marc Deissenroth-Uhrig

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will understand the basic principles of model simulations and be able to classify and evaluate results. They will be able to design and carry out simple plant simulations. Using their knowledge of energy system simulations will enable them to effectively learn how to use similar simulation tools.

Module content:
This module covers an introduction to the Polysun simulation program, which allows detailed system and building simulation. The main focus will be on modeling and simulating solar energy systems. Electricity and heat generation will be compared to consumption in order to analyze the self-consumption structures of different plant designs. To increase self-consumption, electricity and heat storage systems will also be considered. The theoretical basics of the system components and input parameters used (e.g. calculation of solar radiation, characteristic curves of modules and collectors, etc.) will be discussed in addition to the use of Polysun.

[updated 22.05.2023]
Teaching methods/Media:
Each participant will receive a Polysun licence that can be installed on their own computer.
