This module builds on the module “Energy Informatics 1.” Based on the physical and technical fundamentals of energy forms, conversion, storage, and transmission described there, as well as an overview of typical applications of energy informatics, this module teaches information technology approaches and methods that are necessary for the transformation of the existing energy system into an energy system of the future (e.g., smart grid, microgrid).

Specifically, this includes the following topics, for example:

• Modern control center software and concepts for use in smart grids
• Hardware and software infrastructure for the simulation and analysis of energy networks:
  • Power grid analysis, simulation, and modeling
  • Measurement and monitoring in microgrids
  • 3D building and neighborhood models
  • Building-based heat/cold storage for load control in smart grids
  • Energy system modeling
• Big data in the context of future energy systems:
  • Energy data management, data types, data storage
  • Data analysis (forecasting, data mining)
• Control and optimization of energy systems
• Real-time capable, reliable, and secure software systems in energy systems

Diese werden in der Vorlesung gegeben.
