The aim of the Electrical Machines lecture is to acquire knowledge of and apply the fundamentals of the operating behavior of electrical machines. The most important electrical machines - transformers, direct current machines, asynchronous and synchronous machines - are fundamentally developed and modeled using equivalent circuit diagrams. By taking a comparative approach to the various electrical machines, students are able to familiarize themselves with the details of specific electrical machines and apply their knowledge to the development of electrical machines.

Practical course:
Various practical experiments are carried out on transformers, asynchronous and synchronous machines and their operating behavior is understood.

The course consists of the chapters Fundamentals of Electrical Machines, Transformers, Direct Current Machines, Synchronous Machines and Asynchronous Machines. As part of the fundamentals of electrical machines, basic electromagnetic arrangements are worked on, on which the application of the flow law, the law of induction and the continuity conditions in connection with electromagnetic materials are discussed. Parameterized finite element models are used for support. In the transformer chapter, the derivations of the equivalent circuit diagram in connection with non-linear behavior are developed. The operating behavior is discussed on the basis of pointer diagrams. The DC machine is derived classically and the need for additional windings is discussed. In the transition to the synchronous machine, the DC machine is used and the synchronous machine is derived on this basis. The operating behavior is described using current locus curves and pointer diagrams. The same applies to the asynchronous machine.

Practical course:
Classical test set-ups for transformers, asynchronous and synchronous machines: open circuit, short circuit, load. Evaluation of measurement results and presentation of characteristic curves in Excel.

The theoretical knowledge is presented and explained in the lecture. In the exercise, what has been learned is deepened using practical examples.

'- Knowledge of the basic concepts and classifications of simulations
- Knowledge of the procedure for simulation studies
- Overview of the different types of simulation methods and their differentiation
- Evaluate the applicability of simulation methods for the respective task

The lecture Building Simulation introduces the methods of simulation technology. The thematic focus is on the investigation of energy-related issues in buildings. Particular emphasis is placed on the structured approach to simulation tasks. Based on a classification of simulation types, the procedure for selecting and creating suitable simulation models, carrying out simulations and evaluating the results are discussed. Different types of simulation methods are presented. These cover in particular the area of computer-aided tools. Insights are given into the mathematical modeling of the simulation tools. However, neither the lecture nor the exercise will deal with the programming implementation of the models (programming knowledge is therefore not necessary). The aim is rather to learn a structured approach to simulation and, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the various tools, to select the most suitable one for the specific task and to be able to interpret its results correctly. Using the example of the heat balance of buildings, the procedure as well as the evaluation and interpretation of the results are deepened in the context of lectures and accompanying exercises on the computer.

The lecture provides an overview of terms, fundamentals and various methods of building simulation. In the exercises, these basic concepts are first deepened. Subsequently, based on an example building, calculations of the energy demand are carried out and compared using various methods (analytical calculation, static simulation, dynamic simulation).

The practical semester is intended to introduce students to the professional activities of an engineer through specific tasks and engineering-related work in companies, businesses or other institutions in the professional field. In particular, it should serve to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during the course and to reflect on and evaluate the experience gained during the practical work.

The module aims to train and consolidate students' decision-making skills by:
- Expanding application-related knowledge using practical examples;
- Creation of in-service documentation;
- Deepening presentation techniques.

In the practical semester, the student is familiarized with engineering working methods through a task appropriate to their level of training. After an appropriate introduction, he or she should work on this task independently, alone or in a group, under professional guidance.

The following areas of activity may be considered in particular: project planning, planning, parameterization, service and counseling, design, development, production, manufacturing, testing, operation and support of infrastructure, power plant and grid operation, energy sales and trading, energy management, assembly, maintenance, business and time management, sales, information technology, IT, quality management, safety management and operational research.
The practical semester is usually completed in the sixth semester and covers a continuous period of at least 20 weeks.
In the engineering field of work, a challenging project from all areas of electrical engineering is used to teach the approach and problem-solving strategies of an engineer when solving tasks. Students can thus gain insight into the connections between practical training and studies and link the newly acquired knowledge with the course content.

In a written report and a presentation followed by a discussion, each student presents themselves, the practical placement and their work. The preparation of this presentation trains the ability to give written and oral reports and to evaluate and delineate tasks and results. In addition to their own presentation, students must listen to a set number of presentations by fellow students as part of the practical seminar. This also provides insights into other fields of activity and broadens the horizon of experience beyond their own practical semester.
