Deepening insights into selected aspects of the electrical energy supply and energy economics. Modeling of energy systems, solving of simple tasks in the field of power systems and energy economics. Introduction to MATLAB.

Each of the following topics are covered in one or two afternoon sessions:

1. Electrical Systems
    a. Operating parameters of overhead lines and cables
    b. Calculation of imbalanced operating conditions
    c. Photovoltaic plants
    d. Wind power plants
    e. Network control, Virtual power plants

2. Energy Economics
    a. Introduction in energy economics - historical and technological development
    b. The concept of energy services, introduction into cost accounting
    c. Calculating the market value of photovoltaic and wind turbines based on realdata,
        assessment of aninvestmentin PV systems from the perspective of a household, taking into account load profiles.
    d. Introduction to electricity markets
    e. Statistical analysis of electricity prices and generation data

In part 2.c to 2.e the analysis will be done with the software package MATLAB. No previous experience with the software isrequired. A student licensecan be attained from the ZID. All calculations can also be performed with other programs (eg. EXCEL), but the use of MATLAB is recommended.

To pass the exam presence at the preliminary discussion and lectures is required and recorded.

Written exam (for part "1. Energy Systems and Networks")

Exercises and submission of reports (for part  "2. Energy Economics")

Digital lecture notes will be avaiable for part "1. Electrical Systems" via TISS promptly at the relevant dates.

The necessary documents for part "2. Energy Economics" can be found in TUWEL.
