Energy Systems and Renewable Energies

Starte deine Zukunft im internationalen Bachelor Energy Systems and Renewable Energies an der THI. Dieser Bachelor ist komplett auf Englisch und perfekt für dich, wenn du dich für Energietechnik und Nachhaltigkeit auf Basis von Maschinenbau- und Elektrotechnik-Grundlagen interessierst.

Hier erfährst du, wie klimafreundliche Stromerzeugung funktioniert, wie intelligente Netze Energie effizient verteilen und warum smarte Speicherlösungen die Energiewende voranbringen. Zusätzlich beschäftigst du dich mit modernen Methoden der Digitalisierung wie Künstlicher Intelligenz in der Energietechnik, etwa zur Prognose, Optimierung und intelligenten Regelung von Energiesystemen. Mithilfe von Digital Twins modellierst und simulierst du reale Anlagen und Netze virtuell, um Betrieb, Planung und Wartung effizienter und nachhaltiger zu gestalten. Außerdem lernst du alles zur Interaktion mit neuen Arten von Prosumern (Produzenten/Konsumenten), gerade in den Bereichen Elektromobilität und Power-to-Heat. Gemeinsam mit internationalen Kommilitonen arbeitest du an realen Herausforderungen, sammelst interkulturelle Erfahrungen und wertvolle Kontakte zu Unternehmen in der Branche. Auch ein Auslandssemester darfst du sehr gerne einplanen!
