Growing distributed generation and fluctuating renewable energy sources create a need for an intelligent network of consumers and producers. Smart Energy Systems is based on the technological, economical, and ecological knowledge of distributed energy systems as well as essential digital skills. Besides the simulation and optimisation of energy systems, the focus relies on modern computer and communication technology. The use of artificial intelligence completes this interdisciplinary-orientated course of study. Our aim is to provide a deep understanding not only of the individual producer and consumer technologies but also in terms of an optimised operation of these interconnected energy systems. Job opportunities include energy suppliers or energy marketing, building technology, the automotive industry or energy-intensive industry as well as following new business ideas in founding a start-up company.
