| Learning outcomes |
The students have a system-oriented view of the transformation of the energy system into a renewable Internet of Energy. They are familiar with important political, economic and technical drivers for this process of change. The students
- are familiar with the potential and structure of energy supply and demand. Tey can name, quantify and classify them.
- can explain essential methods of price formation in regulated and competitive energy markets and apply them as coordination instruments to selected examples of the energy industry.
- are able to apply the concepts "value chain" and "unbulding" to the market organisation of grid-bound energy systems.
- are familiar with the regulatory framework under energy law and can explain important guidelines and laws and their effects.
- are able to explain, limit and evaluate fields of action and potentials of digitisation in the energy industry.
- have an understanding of the "Internet of Energy" and can explain essential elements and their interaction for supply quality and security.
