Renewable Energy in the Earth System

Lecturers: Julia Gottschall, Hanno Keil, Bernhard Lange, Volkhard Spieß

Content:

Objective of the module is to give an overview of different renewable energy resources and ways of their exploitation. Covered energy resources include wind energy, ocean (wave and tidal) energy, geothermal and relief energy as well as radiation (solar) energy. Before elaborating on the specific resources, general principles of energy in the earth system are introduced. Based on this the principles behind the specific type of energy are discussed in dedicated blocks together with approaches for an assessment of the resource and further impacting factors. Corresponding methods, that are taught in the course and applied in exercises, include measurement concepts, numerical modelling and the quantitative analysis of relevant datasets.
Topics with respect to the exploitation of the respective type of renewable energy are covered in the seminar. Here, practical realizations are discussed with a focus on their technical and economic challenges.

Competences:

know about general (physical) principles of energy in the earth system;
know about and evaluate different renewable energy resources;
know how to apply quantitative methods for assessing respective energy reosurces (based on dedicated measurement approaches and numerical modelling);
have an overview of approaches of renewable energy exploitation

Assessment:
