Brief description
The study program Regenerative Energy Technology at the TU Ilmenau is aimed at performance-oriented young people who are interested in energy supply from renewable energies. The program, which leads to a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree, imparts knowledge and methods for the production and further development of regenerative energy technology.
The focus is on the following topics:
- Solar energy conversion
- Thermal energy systems
- Electrical energy systems technology
Students are introduced to current research and learn to apply renewable energy technology as a field of future technologies on a large scale. The core competence of graduates of this research-oriented program is to gain new knowledge, generate new technical solutions and implement them in industrial production. Through close contact with commercial enterprises, students can gain a good insight into future practice at an early stage.
Basic modules (e.g. Fundamentals of Technical Solar Energy Conversion, Mathematical and Scientific Fundamentals, Electrical Fundamentals, Renewable Energies and Storage Technology, Practical Laboratory Course in Renewable Energy Technology, Basics of Business Administration)
Specialisation module (Photovoltaics, Innovative Concepts of Solar Energy Conversion, Batteries and Fuel Cells, Fundamentals of Electrical Machines, Applied Heat Transfer, Technical Thermodynamics)
Elective modules (modules to choose from: Energy Physics, Business Ethics and Sustainability Management, Charge and Energy Transport Processes, Complex Networks and their Dynamics, Environmental and Analytical Measurement Technology, Functional Materials, Glass and Ceramic Materials for Micro and Nanotechnology, Semiconductors, Surface Physics Techniques, Micro and Semiconductor Technology 1, Measurement Techniques in Photovoltaics, Spectroscopic Methods, Thin Films and Surfaces, Technical Thermodynamics 1, Applied Thermo- and Fluid Dynamics, Aerodynamics, Microfluidics, Energy Use Optimisation - Fundamentals, Energy Use Optimisation - Multimodal Energy Systems, Lightning and Surge Protection, Transient Processes in Electrical Systems, Electrochemical phase boundaries, Electrochemical Kinetics, Active Filters and Power Flow Control in Electrical Networks).
