Digitalised Energy Systems

Subjects: Technology

M.Sc. | Master of Science

Course description

To tackle climate change urgently, the energy transition stands as one of the most significant technological and societal challenges of our era. Ensuring a reliable, economical, and ecologically sound energy supply hinges on the efficient, secure, and dependable digitalization of a complex system. This system must integrate numerous fluctuating energy sources, consumers, storage facilities, and grid components, all of which are difficult to predict, into a stable and financially viable whole. The energy system is critical infrastructure, the backbone of modern society. Any failure or disruption could lead to prolonged supply shortages, major public safety issues, and other severe consequences.
