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.

 

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.

 

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

Students should be familiar with the energy industry context of the energy market and understand basic technical, Business Studies, legal and regulatory contexts. Students should be familiar with the status quo for all stages of the value chain (generation, grids, trading and sales) and be able to discuss possible developments with their advantages and disadvantages. They should be familiar with and be able to evaluate the key issues of the energy transition. Among other things, they should be able to economically evaluate simple investments in the energy sector and understand and apply the framework conditions of the energy market. Furthermore, they should be able to independently develop and evaluate energy industry issues.

Economy, ecology and security of supply describe the target triangle of the energy industry. Together, these are  the criteria that energy systems must - at a minimum - fulfill today  Recently, a social component has apparently been added. What the status quo of the energy market looks like in relation to all stages of the value chain, i.e. decentralized/centralized generation, grids (electricity, gas, heat, H2, ...), trading and sales, what advantages and disadvantages there are in the respective future and current forms and how the respective stages of the value chain will change, will be presented and discussed in the course. The subject shows the framework conditions for the energy transition, i.e. a climate gas-neutral energy supply, across all stages of the value chain and in the context of European and international developments. Current developments (e.g. the current energy price brakes) are repeatedly examined and their implications for the energy transition are considered, as well as developments in other areas such as politics (Russia), digitalization (e.g. intelligent measuring systems, iMSys), business administration, economics and law with their effects on an energy system. Particular emphasis is placed on highlighting many practical references, some of which go beyond the energy industry context, e.g. project management, leadership behavior, SAP.

The theoretical specialist and methodological knowledge is presented, explained and discussed in the lecture. In exercises, the methodological knowledge imparted is applied and 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).
