Objectives and competences
The goal of the course is for students to understand energy sources, the conversion of primary energy sources into electricity, to be able to analyse and derive new energy sources, to determine the level of consumption for self-care needs, to cover the impacts of e-mobility, to determine the potential of energy storage, to effectively implement energy management at the household level, learn the basics of smart grids, energy management and find the potential of flexibility to achieve economic benefits.
