Energy Meteorology Excursion + Block course

Bernhard Pospichal, Marion Schroedter-Homscheidt

This module is dedicated to get an insight into current research topics in energy meteorology.
The module consists of three parts:

1. It starts with some introductory lectures on Energy meteorology during the second half of the semester.
2. The main part consists of an excursion to Northern Germany (Oldenburg and region) with the visit of several institutions, companies and facilities related to renewable energies and applications.
3. The third part contains a written scientific report about a topic related to meteorological aspects of solar and wind energy applications.

The lectures will be held in a hybrid mode in Cologne and via zoom. Dates will be confirmed at a later stage. The excursion will take place from 28 August to 1 September 2023. Each participant will have to prepare a short presentation about his/her report topic. The presentations will be given to the whole group in late September 2023 (date TBD). The module has 6 ETCS points, the final mark is based on the written report as well as the oral presentation.
