DTU provide several courses within solar energy.
DTU Civil Engineering
Department of Civil Engineering offers education in the solar heating field for university students, foreign students and Ph.D. students:
- 11108 Building Integrated Photovoltaics (5 ECTS, MSc level). The course is taught 50/50% by DTU Civil Engineering and DTU Fotonik.
- 11117 Solar Heating Systems (10 ECTS, MSc level) treats the basic principles of solar heating systems for domestic hot water systems, solar combi systems and solar heating plants.
- 11128 Development of solar energy systems (5 ECTS, MSc level). Course participants work on development of solar energy systems or components for solar energy systems.
Further, theoretical investigations of solar heating systems or of components for solar heating systems based on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) calculations can be carried out in the course 11124 Computational Fluid Dynamics on Buildings (5 ECTS, MSc level).
Furthermore, special courses, diploma projects, bachelor projects and master thesis projects in the field can be carried out, for example in connection with the Institute’s research and development projects. The student assignments can be carried out in collaboration with manufacturers of components or whole solar heating systems.
DTU Compute
No particular solar courses, but lots of useful courses for modelling and optimization of solar and their integration in the global energy system. For example: 02417 Time Series Analysis, 02427 Advanced Time Series Analysis and 02435 Decision-Making Under Uncertainty provide deep knowledge about statistical methods used for modelling, forecasting and optimization.
