Learning outcomes, acquired competencies and qualification goals

Storage systems analysis and sizing

After the successful participation in the course Storage Systems: Case Studies the students are able to:

  • understand why we must store in an isolated system
  • understand why we should store in a system connected to the network
  • understand at what level we can store
  • understand the main electrical energy storage technologies

After the successful participation in the course Sizing of Storage Systems the students are able to:

  • choose the best electric storage system according to the application
  • size the chosen electric storage system taking into account the imposed constraints
  • evaluate the performances of the studied hybrid system
Course typesVLmP+Ü (1 SWS); VLmP+Ü (1 SWS)
