Energy informatics is a young field of research at the interface of electrical engineering, computer science, economics and law, in which questions about energy systems are dealt with. Issues arising from climate change and the increasing use of renewable energy sources are of particular interest.

In the "Energy Informatics" seminar, we look at selected issues arising from current research. These questions consider, for example, modeling, algorithms or simulations in the context of energy systems.

This seminar is aimed at Master's students in subjects that overlap with energy informatics, for example computer science, mechanical engineering, information systems, economathematics, business engineering or economics engineering. If you have any questions regarding credit transfer, please contact your study program service. 
Ideally, students should have an in-depth insight into the subject areas of energy informatics and have basic knowledge of modeling, simulation and algorithms.

Other participants: Prof. Dr. Veit Hagenmeyer, T.T.-Prof. Dr. Thomas Bläsius

Workload: 4 CP corresponds to approx. 120 hours, approx. 21 hours attending the seminar, approx. 45 hours analyzing and working on the topic, approx. 27 hours preparing and creating the presentation and approx. 27 hours writing the paper.

Learning objectives: Based on a given topic, participants identify, collect and evaluate relevant literature. They classify the topic within the subject area of "energy informatics".
Participants prepare a seminar paper and take format specifications into account. Students critically examine other seminar papers and write reviews of the seminar papers of others.
In presentations, the participants present the most important content of their seminar paper in an auditorium-friendly manner and discuss it with the audience.
