pre025 - Wind Energy and Storage (Vollständige Modulbeschreibung)

After successful completion of the module students should be able to:

·         Critically evaluate and describe basic characteristics and functioning of wind energy
           converters

·         Understand the physical principal of wind energy conversion

·         Understand wind turbine aerodynamics

-         Critically evaluate and describe electrochemical storage systems with a focus on batteries as
           well as hydrogen storage systems (electrolyser, gas storage and fuel cells)

Basics of Wind Energy:

• Wind characterization and anemometers
• Aerodynamic aspects of wind energy conversion
• Wind turbine performance
• Design of wind turbines
• Dimensional analysis and pi-theorem

Energy Storage:

• Fundamentals of electrochemistry and thermodynamics
• Energy and environmental balances
• Fundamental setup of most common battery types
• Fundamental chemical reactions in these batteries
• Operational characteristics of batteries (charging & discharging, weir processes and service lives)
