Development of a basic understanding of the requirements and responsibilities of the different segments of the energy supply chain in liberalised energy markets. In particuar, the focus is put to the role of energy grid infrastructures (electricity, gas, heat) and the corresponding synchronized markets related to grid operation in order to secure continuous correlation of energy supply and demand.
Attention: An introduction into several lectures at EEG takes place on 4th October 2018 (11 am) at EI2!

29.01.2019: Examination (written only)
Examination: written only
Remarks:
- Emphasis is put on understanding of system coherence
- 5 Questions counting 20% each; for a positiv grade, at least 50% are necessary
- 3 out of 5 questions are analytical/quantitative examples
- Despite acceptance of a non-programmable calculator during the exam, encouragement to "mental arithmetics" and "rounding of (preliminary-)results" as well as "freehand diagrams without ruler"
Written materials are available for download in TUWEL.
This are:
- Skript "Energy Systems and Grids" (english); 8 out of 12 chapters are finalised; remaining "under preparation"
- ppt-slides of each of the 12 units
- Files of several written exams of the previous years
- In general, there is no precognition expected
- Basic understanding of interdependences in energy economics shall be existing
- Analytical intellectual power
- Interest in actual developments in international energy markets are beneficial
- Attending the individual lectures is advantageous, because actual development in energy markets are addressed
