This new master course will now be offered for the first time by the LEA department in the upcoming summer semester (SS 2021).
Power electronics is already a key technology for modern concepts of energy generation, distribution and use, without which the integration of renewable energies can hardly succeed.
The following topics will be covered:

•     Classical power transmission and distribution via three-phase networks.
•     Brief introduction to power electronics and the most important basic circuits
•     Direct current networks
•     Flexible three-phase transmission systems (FACTS)
•     Energy and network management
•     Grid strategy
•     Smart Grids, Microgrids
•     Load control
•     Wind power, photovoltaics
•     Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

It is advantageous, but not mandatory, to already have a basic knowledge of power electronics, as this course will concisely summarize the fundamentals.

The course is taught by:

•     Prof. Joachim Böcker
•     Dr. Frank Schafmeister
•     Dr. Thorsten Vogt
•     Dr. Karl Stephan Stille
•     Sören Hanke

In addition, we were able to win Mr. Timo Busse (Westfalen Weser Netz) as a speaker for the economic topics.

The course will be held in a digital format.
Further information and teaching materials can be found in PANDA.
