Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

How is Austra's electrical power produced, and what are the percentages from different sources (water, fossile, bio, wind, sun, import)?
What is the possible contribution from "new renewables"?
Physical-technical basis of power generation. Efficiencies. Production costs. storage. Electro mobility.
Materials of energy technique (turbine blades, solar cells, storage materials).
Remaining world energy resources.
European power network and Austria's position.
Damage and risks: CO2-emission of caloric power plants, dams, nuclear power plants in neighbour countries. CO2-certificates.

Some lectures will be given by external experts.

Assessment and permitted materials

Oral check of knowledge after end of lectures

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Ability to check independently politicians' "Energie-Wende" promises.
Is Austria's electrical autarky based fully on "renewables" possible in future and - beyond that - is it desirable from a European perspective?

Examination topics

Lecture with ample discussions
