Explanation (English)

The points obtained for the project in the first examination opportunity are transferred to the second examination opportunity.
No partial exemptions are possible for this course to the next academic year.

Recommended course material

The course material is available in TOLEDO.

Remarks

Situation within the curriculum/learning track:

In this course, all parts of the energy system are brought together and controlled based on the energy market, the technical constraints and the comfort/process requirements of the owners of the electrical installations.

Relationship with the professional field:

this OPO shows the interaction between the numerous parties and systems involved in the energy transition.

Relationship with research:

EBS uses research results by explicitly referring to the researcher and the research methods. The main objective is not so much knowledge transfer, but a critical evaluation of these results by the student.
