empfohlenes Vorwissen
Basic knowledge in the field of energy economics (i.e. "Einführung in die Energiewirtschaft"), basic math skills
Lehrinhalte
Intensifying the theory and methodology with case studies and numerical examples. Repetition, discussion and application of lecture materials. For that purpose, excerpts from literature (models) are presented to the students and are discussed together. They are illustrated with the help of examples. Together with specific and current examples this serves to consolidate the theoretical knowledge and the applied skills. The exercises are partly done on a PC using MS Excel and the modeling language GAMS.
