Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module	After successful completion of the module students should be able to: appraise the challenge of a given energy service supply problem assess given data of the situation of the energy service supply problem distinguish between valuable / trustworthy and less valuable / less trustworthy input data, necessary and unnecessary data judge and then decide on methodologies to apply in order to generate an answer to a research question related to an energy supply system develop and then recommend a technical, economic and social solution for an energy service supply system explain, justify and defend the developed solution On a second level students train working in an international team managing an international team collaborating with an international manager managing their project (project management) conflict management documentation of their time spent on the project, thereby getting an insight into different steps of a project and its expenditure on time.
Module contents	In the module “Renewable Energy Project” students merge the acquired scientific knowledge on different RE technologies and the concepts and methodologies they have gained in the different related disciplines and transfer their competences to solve a real-life project. Thereby, this module trains students to apply the knowledge acquired in previous lectures to a real-life problem. Students need to: Determine a real-life case of their interest Evaluate the state of the art at the Case Study’s project site Describe the energy services demanded Determine the energy demand to supply these services in hourly and seasonal course of time Design the energy supply system based on different technologies for this energy demand Technically & economically optimise generator size, storage size, dumped energy and unmet energy Write a final report for the stakeholder involved Present the findings to the stakeholders involved Solve challenges of working in an international group in order to generate a solution (project management, conflict management, intercultural communication)
