Renewable Energy Systems
During the summer school, ten professors of several engineering departments teach, providing an interdisciplinary technical and cultural flavor. After a brief motivating introduction on climate change and resources, the summer school emphasizes a variety of the most important renewable energy systems - photovoltaics, wind energy, hydro-electric-power and geothermal energy. Moreover, we discuss materials for energy efficiency, energy storage, power electronics and smart grids as well as wireless communication aspects and security problems with regard to renewable energy applications. Finally, related economical aspects like business simulations and intercultural aspects in project planning complete the program of the summer school.
The side program implies excursions that are of technical and cultural interest.
