Digitale Lehre:
In the winter semester 2022/23 the course "Renewable Energies, Energy scenarios and Climate protection" will be offered for the last time for now and will be held exclusively in a physical format (live). In case we will need to switch to a digital format, participants will be informed in time via Moodle-message.

Access to all relevant documents as well as further communication about the course is provided via the Moodle platform. The course room will be open from October 1st. If you do not have automatic access to the relevant course room (https://moodle.tu-darmstadt.de/course/view.php?id=31841) after you subscribed to the TUCaN course (and after October 1st), please contact your supervisor (Niklas Scholliers, N.Scholliers@iwar.tu-darmstadt.de) by e-mail.

Lehrinhalte:
The lecture introduces system considerations and main problems of the future energy supply. Topics such as societal challenges, characteristics of energy systems and renewable energies as well as technical and political approaches for the development of strategies for sustainable energy systems will be discussed during lecture.

1. Energy Systems: Today's energy system and the role of Fossil energies
2. Climate Change and Global Warming
3. Scenario analysis and development
4. Global energy scenarios and the role of Renewables
5. Electricity: Renewables' potential and technologies (I)
6. Electricity: Renewables' potential and technologies (II)
7. Heat and Fuels: Renewables' potential and technologies
8. Life Cycle Assessment/Sustainability/Critical Raw Materials of Renewables
9. Energy Policy and Renewables (I)
10. Energy Policy and Renewables (II)
11. Energy system models
12. Demand sectors and efficiency
13. Sector coupling, transport, and storage
14. Transformation of Energy systems: Example of German Energiewende

Qualification goals and competences:

• The students are able to describe and explain the energy system as a whole with regard to its basic structure and the interaction of technological, ecological, economic, and societal influencing factors.
  
• The students are capable of analysing and evaluating current scenarios on energy demand, resource availability, and impacts of the climate effect, demonstrating characteristics of important technologies for energy conversion, use and storage, and interpreting goals of sustainable development.
  
• The course enables the students to apply system-oriented methods for analysis and strategy development in the energy sector and to create science-based scenarios.
