Overview

In the energy system modules from Renewable Energy Systems at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, THI the students will be confronted with the practical tasks to design energy systems. To do so a project oriented approach is necessary and eventually missing knowledge has to be acquired. Students are supported by a team of specialists. These specialists don’t teach basical knowledge, but the system relevant aspects of components. Students compare, select and dimension components according to the defined requirements of the systems. Thereby they learn which constraints and requirement are important for planing, financing and operating these systems.

The program consists of two terms with lectures, seminars and laboratory work and a final term for the master thesis. In the first term methodological seminars dominate the curriculum and only one energy system is developed. In the second term there are only additional seminars, but the workload is dominated by the development of two energy systems.

Every year three out of four energy systems will be selected: Building ES, Industrial ES, Off-Grid ES und Urban Area ES. Whether the selection will be taken by each single student or by a team agreement depends on the available ressources.
