Site-Adapted Transformation Technologies in the Global South

The continuous use of green energy from the sun and wind, with the characteristic of fluctuating energy yields and energy gaps, requires reliable and efficient storage of electrical energy. Only the joint electrotechnical function of wind and solar systems in conjunction with at least a local grid infrastructure and energy storage can ensure a reliable supply of electrical energy to the population in the Global South. The course teaches the electrical engineering fundamentals of electrical circuits, generators, photovoltaics, and storage technologies. The aim is to equip students with the skills to plan, operate, and control local electricity grids, including generation systems and storage.
