227-0664-00L | Technology and Policy of Electrical Energy Storage | 4 KP | 2G | V. Wood, T. Schmidt | |
Kurzbeschreibung | With the global emphasis on decreasing CO2 emissions, achieving fossil fuel independence and growing the use of renewables, developing & implementing energy storage solutions for electric mobility & grid stabilization represent a key technology & policy challenge. This course primarily uses lithium ion batteries as a case study to understand the interplay between technology, economics & policy. | ||||
Lernziel | The students will learn of the complexity involved in battery research, design, production, as well as in investment, economics and policy making around batteries. Students from technical disciplines will gain insights into policy, while students from social science backgrounds will gain insights into technology. | ||||
Inhalt | With the global emphasis on decreasing CO2 emissions, achieving fossil fuel independence, and integrating renewables on the electric grid, developing and implementing energy storage solutions for electric mobility and grid stabilization represent a key technology and policy challenge. The class will focus on lithium ion batteries since they are poised to enter a variety of markets where policy decisions will affect their production, adoption, and usage scenarios. The course considers the interplay between technology, economics, and policy. * intro to energy storage for electric mobility and grid-stabilization * basics of battery operation, manufacturing, and integration * hands-on fabrication and testing of a cell * intro to the role of policy for energy storage innovation & diffusion * discussion of complexities involved in policy and politics of energy storage | ||||

851-0609-04L | The Energy Challenge - The Role of Technology, Business and Society Voraussetzung: Kenntnisse in Ökonomie und Umweltfragen sind nachzuweisen. | 2 KP | 2V | R. Schubert, T. Schmidt, J. Schmitz | |
Kurzbeschreibung | In recent years, energy security, risks, access and availability are important issues. Strongly redirecting and accelerating technological change on a sustainable low-carbon path is essential. The transformation of current energy systems into sustainable ones is not only a question of technology but also of the goals and influences of important actors like business, politics and society. | ||||
Lernziel | In this course different options of sustainable energy systems like fossile energies, nuclear energy or all sorts of renewable energies are explained and discussed. The students should be able to understand and identify advantages and disadvantages of the different technological options and discuss their relevance in the business as well as in the societal context. | ||||
