Laboratory for electrical energy management (EW)

The laboratory for electrical energy management forms the Business Studies part of the Bachelor's degree program in Energy Economics and Energy Data Management and also contributes to the energy management background in the Master's degree program in Electrical Engineering and Energy Systems. This gives students the opportunity to approach industry problems from a Business Studies perspective.

In addition to the Energy Management lecture, practicals are carried out with the BelVis ® energy data management system from Kisters. The aim is on the one hand to understand important interrelationships in modern energy management and on the other hand to get to know software solutions for this. In addition, more complex dynamic profitability calculations are created using Excel.

In the practical courses in the fourth and fifth semesters, students deepen their application and software skills using further case studies. For example, the optimization of system control and the creation of load forecasts are considered. The optimization and load forecasting applications from Kisters are used for this purpose. Load profile analyses are carried out with MatLab, among others. Structuring of projects and scheduling of projects against an introduction to project management tools.

In the Master's course Decentralized Energy Systems, Business Studies/technical studies on decentralized energy supply using the example of modern district concepts are carried out together with the Laboratory for Renewable Energies. carried out. Here too, standard software, TOP Energy from GFAI, is used for the practical part.

The topics mentioned above and others from the Business Studies context of energy use and energy supply can be explored in greater depth as part of student projects and theses at both Bachelor's and Master's level.
