Objectives After successfully engaging with the topics of this course, students will be able to

  • explain the basic design and functional principles of water and wind turbines,
  • perform basic calculations regarding water and wind turbines,
  • descripe thermo-fluid dynamic aspects of further methods of sustainable energy gerneration
  • perform calculations of typical therodynamic cycles of sustainable energy gerneration systems

The level of mathematical modeling and analysis of the mentioned topics is comparable to the level of the textbooks: Pfleiderer, Petermann: Strömungsmaschinen, 2005; Hau, Windkraftanlagen, 2016.

Subject Different sustainable energy systems are considered with a focus on thermo-fluid dynamic aspects

  • water turbines
  • wind turbines
  • wave and tidal power plants and further examples
  • thermodynamic cycles of sustainable energy systems, e.g. heat pumps, Stirling engines, Rankine process
Criteria for evaluation Written assignment, written and/or oral exam
Methods Lecture by means of a script, development of practical examples
Language German
