Electrical Solar Technology
Kurzzeichen:
M_ElSolT
Unterrichtssprache:
Englisch
ECTS-Credits:
4
Leitidee:
The students learn the contemporary techniques for using solar energy by means of solar cells and wind converters. They understand how solar energy can be temporarily stored and further used in the form of electricity and synthetic hydrogen. They also know how to dimension the corresponding energy converters with their typical operating framework according to their purpose and use them efficiently.
