Program Overview

Program Description:

The need for a sustainable energy supply is becoming more important with declining fossil energy resources, environmental pollution and climate change. The study program Renewable Energy Management will contribute in renewable energy promotion in countries, especially the developing countries in tropics and subtropics, via a holistic renewable energy management concept. The profile of the master program is application-oriented. The aim is, next to providing the participants with an overview about the energy sector in general, to educate experts in the field of renewable energy management. This requires a diversification of their knowledge and leads to the capability of cross-linked thinking. The answer to complex environmental and energy related problems requires economic and managerial competencies more than classical technical knowledge. The consolidation of different disciplines has not only a methodological dimension but a cultural and a human one, because interdisciplinary team work requires capacities of sharing knowledge and effective communication.

Therefore, the study objectives are focused on -understanding the global energy supply systems and their interrelationship with the environmental problems -valuating the renewable energy resource potential for different resources and sites -analyzing the current technologies used for these resources conversion to useful energy -analyzing the economics of these conversion methods at micro- and macro-economic levels -evaluating the environmental impact of current and future renewable energy systems -planning and managing of renewable energy projects
