Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Overview of useable storage systems in an energy technological context; Fields of application: convenient for consumers and manufacturers; design, connection and properties of storage systems for kinetic, magnetic, electric, electrochemical energy: fly wheels, supra-conducting magnetic energy storage systems (SMES), double layer capacitors, batteries; cost, performance characteristics and economic efficiency of storage systems in comparison.
Learning Outcome
Upon successful completion of the module, the student is able to evaluate the possibilities but also the limitations of the presented storage concepts and their energetically optimal operation.
Students know the characteristics of the storage technologies.
At the end of the module, students are able to choose and to size up an appropriate storage type, depending on the application requirements.
In addition, they have basic knowledge about the optimal application of storage systems.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
In a written (60 min) exam students proof by answering questions and developing a theoretical storage solution for a given application that they unsterstand the characteristics, possibilities, and limitations of different storage concepts and are able to calculate the dimension and cost of a suitable solution.
Exam Repetition
There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
