    (Vorlesung, 2 SWS, Michael Wensing, Fr, 12:15 - 13:45, KS I; erste Veranstaltung: Fr, 22.10.2021 online als Zoom-Meeting (Link in StudOn-Gruppe); weitere Veranstaltungen ggf. in Präsenz *** First lecture: Fri, 22.10.2021 online as Zoom meeting (link in StudOn group); further lectures may be held in presence.)
  • Exercises in Renewable thermal power plants
    (Übung, 3 SWS, Klaus Riedle et al., Do, 10:15 - 13:45, KS I; erste Veranstaltung nach Vorankündigung in Vorlesung; Veranstaltung ggf. in Präsenz *** first exercise course after advance notice in lecture; exercise course may be held in presence ***)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

To succeed in this course, students will need to apply acquired knowledge from basics in process engineering especially engineering thermodynamics and principles of transport. Basic knowledge in general chemistry is beneficial.

Inhalt:

Content:

Thermodynamic basics, primary energy situation worldwide, sustainable energy resources, CO2 capture and storage, CO2-free energy sources and processes (water, wind, biomass, geothermal energy, photovoltaics), energy management (energy demand, energy reserves, primary energy sources, environmental impact, sustainable and fossil power plant types in comparison; thermal cycle processes (steam turbines, gas turbines, engines, combined processes); renewable power plants, effects of sustainable energy sources on the machine design in power plants, energy economics, efficient usage, energy storage, electro-chemical power processes, climate change, renewable energies

Description of the exercise:

The exercise programme, which is scheduled with 3 SWS, is conducted in seminar form. Participants are divided into groups that work together on a project on regenerative energy supply. Project contents can be, for example, concepts for CO2 reduction for a neighbourhood, a city, region or a larger industrial company. The exercise is accompanied as a project course by experienced experts from industry who are available to the students for discussion. Meetings take place weekly during the exercise times. As a result, the project groups submit a report on their findings and give a final presentation. These two performances together constitute the students' examination performance. There is no separate examination.
