Electrical Energy Excursion
Cycle: summer term
The electrical energy excursion is canceled in year 2020.
Within the scope of the excursion electrical engineer students should have the possibility to improve their knowledge about electrical energy systems. The excursion is organized by the electrical energy departments of the Technische Universität Darmstadt and has annually changed destinations. Therefore, the main focus lies on the production, conversion and the consumption of electrical energy. To offer the students an overview of the different processes and available solutions for different technical problems, various manufacturers, power stations or electrical control gears are visited.
Besides the technical aspects the excursion also enables students to visited possible employers in the energy industry.
Simultaneously, the excursion should improve the contact between the students and the different electrical energy departments, because the professors of the institutes as well as some research associates will also participate.
