interdisciplinary knowledge essential for coping with the complexity of future energy systems. It gives
you a wide range of hands-on opportunities to apply your knowledge and skills both in theory and in
practice. Whats more, the programme strongly emphasises integrating creative, entrepreneurial and
leadership skills to foster the creation of new ideas and to turn them into innovative products, services,
processes and policies.
What do we do?
We offer you first class technical knowledge at four of the best technical universities in Europe. But in
contrast to other programmes, we also offer you a profound education in economy, innovation and
entrepreneurship. A 24month additional training will help you to fully unfold and develop your personal
key skills for a successful and sustainable future career.
We believe that you are great minds and we would like to make sure that you leave this Master Programme
with the mindset to be the hero of your own life and the ability to change the world.
We wish you the best two years,
Your ENTECH staff
Syllabus and Content

ENTECHs scope is energy technologies in a broad sense. As students come from different backgrounds,
the initial training (Basic Courses) will bring them to a common level of energy engineering knowledge.
This requires a modular class structure and a Learning Agreement developed on an individual student
basis.
Subsequently, and based on the respective basic courses, several specialisations (Main Subjects) are
offered. Topics, which differ between the collaborating universities, cover fields like electrical energy
systems, transport and storage of energy, energy conversion, energy economics and energy system
analysis. You must select two main subjects at KIT or one specialization at IST to pursue in depth.
The master thesis (30 ECTS) covers the entire fourth semester. Within this period, you work on a topic
that is part of a research project or directly related to industry. The site (industrial enterprise or research
institution) and time depend on the specific topic.
Your studies also cover economic and social as well as legal and ecological aspects of different energy
technologies and their implementation.
Special emphasis is put on innovation and management processes; you learn the basics of product
development and how innovations can be realized in companies (Innovation & Entrepreneurship).
Topics dealt with in project work and later on, particularly in the master thesis, are primarily industrial
issues of practical relevance, or part of a larger research project carried out together with an industrial
partner.
The structure of the MSc ENTECH programme is shown below, with the example of KIT as your entry
university:

KIC InnoEnergy receives funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

On October 01, 2009, Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH and
Universitt Karlsruhe (TH) merged into Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT).
KIT pools the missions of both predecessor institutions, the mission of
a university of the state of Baden- Wrttemberg with tasks in education
and research and the mission of a National Large-scale Research Centre
of the Helmholtz Association, which conducts program-oriented provident research. In pursuing these
missions, KIT is active along the three strategic lines of research, teaching, and innovation. With more than
9,000 employees and an annual budget of about EUR 789 million, KIT is one of the biggest research and
education institutions worldwide and has the potential of reaching a top position in selected research
areas on an international level. The objective is to turn KIT into an institution of top research, excellent
scientific education, and a prominent location of academic life, life-long learning, comprehensive
advanced training, unrestricted exchange of knowhow, and sustainable innovation culture.
The Way towards KIT: Tradition and New Dawn

The merger into KIT is the logical continuation of a long-lasting close cooperation of two research and
education institutions rich in tradition. Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, founded in 1956 as Nuclear Reactor
Building and Operation Company, turned into a multidisciplinary Large-scale Research Centre of the
Helmholtz Association. It pursues eleven big research programs in science and engineering. Universitt
Karlsruhe was founded in 1825 as Polytechnical College and developed to a modern location of research
and education in natural sciences, engineering, economics, and the humanities at eleven departments.

Learning Outcomes
The students will understand the basic operation of thermal power plants, their performance and
environmental aspects. Based on their knowledge of the fundamentals in thermodynamics, fluid
mechanics and technical mechanics they will be able to layout, design and calculate power plants and
their major components. They will understand the needs of future energy system with an increased
contribution of intermittent renewable energies with respect to flexibility and alternative fuels.
Content
On a global scale, thermal power plants generate more than 90% of the electricity fed into the public
grid and hence are the backbone of the electric energy supply of modern industrial societies. The
specialization describes the design of different thermal power plants such as coal fired power plants,
nuclear power plants, gas turbines and combined cycle power plants and their major components.
Amongst those special emphasis is directed towards thermal turbo machines and the principles of
applied combustion. The specialization is complemented by fundamental lectures on rotor dynamics as
well as practical exercises in the framework of thermal power plants.

Learning Outcomes
The lectures in the module Chemical Energy Carriers are focused on the characterization of Chemical
Energy Carriers and the processes for production and use of Chemical Energy Carriers. An Introduction
to global reserves and production, environmental aspects, photosynthesis, fossil fuel formation will be
given. Characteristic properties of raw materials and fuels, process overview of fuel upgrading, conversion
and cleaning will be discussed. Examples like chemical upgrading processes in petroleum refining, nonconventional liquid fuels from fossil and biomass feedstock will be given. Different lab-modules are
focused on instrumental methods of analysing the essential properties of Chemical Energy Carriers. The
students will have the opportunity to perform measurements on the institutes test facilities. The major
outcome of the lectures will be the understanding of principles of production and upgrading of fuels,
of fuel conversion processes (mechanical, thermal, chemical, biological, thermo-chemical and electrochemical) and of criteria for assessing different fuels and fuel conversion processes.
Content
Chemical Energy Carriers are high quality fuels and chemicals designed for energy applications.
Chemical Energy Carriers can be solids, liquids and gases. They are produced from fossil or biogenic
energy resources (e.g. coal, mineral oil or wood) as well as from chemical substances as CO2 and H2.
They are designed to be used in highly efficient energy conversion processes for supply of final energy
(heat, power and mobility). Due to their typically high energy density they are well suited for storage and
transportation over long distances. Chemical Energy Carriers will therefore play a major role in all future
energy scenarios.

Learning Outcomes
Students know the physical basics of power transmission by the three-phase power system. They are able
to do the basic electrical design of the major components of an HVDC transmission system. Students
further know the most important designs of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) and their fields of
application. They have knowledge about the grid control system and its functionality. Students further
know strategies for operating an intelligent (smart) power grid. They further get knowledge about
superconducting power grid equipment, their chances and the technological challenges to bring them
into operation.
Content
The topic decentralized power supply and grid integration deals with technologies, methods and
algorithms required for establishing a modern and flexible power supply system with a high amount of
decentralized power supply generated by renewables. Current challenges of the European power supply
system are the fluctuation of power generation especially by renewables and power consumption,
voltage gradients by PV and electric mobiles in the distribution grid and voltage gradients in the EHV grid
by the high amount of wind power in the northern part of Europe together with a regional lacks of power
generation. This requires electric power transportation over long distances. The lecture Electrical Power
Consumption and Grid Control provides basic knowledge about the physics of power transmission
in the three-phase power system, technologies like HVDC (High Voltage DC transmission) and FACTS
(Flexible AC transmission systems) as well as the basics of grid control, such as primary and secondary
23
grid control. The lecture Superconductivity in Smart Grid Power Applications provides knowledge about
new grid equipment such as superconducting current limiters which allow fundamentally new grid
architectures or superconducting cables and power transformers. Superconducting power transformers
offer new ways of grid design and operation by the combination of the functionalities of a transformer
with extremely low losses and a current limiter. Electric mobility leads to new challenges such as local
peak power demands in the distribution grid but offers also new chances due to the storage capacity of
their batteries. This capacity can be used e.g. for a local harmonization of the power demand of a smart
home. The lecture Efficient Energy Systems and Electric Mobility illuminates these aspects having some
impact on the future power grid architecture. New methods and algorithms are required for an active
management of the distribution grid, basics are provided in the lecture Smart Energy Distribution. The
topic decentralized power supply and grid integration provides the tools to major contribute to the
development of the future power supply system.

Learning Outcomes
One learning outcome is to get basic knowledge of architectural design principles, building construction,
building materials properties and technical building systems in order to better understand their
interdependencies in terms of building energy performance. On the urban level, the understanding of
urban structures including energy supply concepts on different scales as well as urban planning processes
is in focus. Further, the capability to evaluate different design concepts and planning strategies in terms
of technical system integration, energy efficiency and sustainability is trained. Finally, the knowledge of
different modelling techniques and the capability to apply the offered software packages for simulating
the building performance in terms of energy and indoor comfort is fostered.
Content
This course introduces into design concepts as well as innovative technologies for high energy efficiency
and renewable energy use in buildings. Emphasis is put on integrated solutions showing the interaction
between space concept, construction principle, materiality, technical equipment and building energy
performance. Besides the view on single buildings, aspects of urban planning with regard to energy
infrastructure and sustainable development of urban quarters will be tackled, seeking possible answers
on the question about the role of buildings and cities in tomorrows overall energy system on different
scales.
Two introductory lectures Design, Construction and Technical Systems of Buildings and Urban
Planning and Energy Infrastructure provide necessary fundamentals for students without architectural
background. This is followed by a lecture on Energy Concepts and Technologies for High Performance
Buildings which focuses exclusively on energy optimized building. It shows how the design strategy and
the choice of appropriate technical systems can open the way towards net zero energy buildings. The
seminar on Building Simulation enables to experience the influence of different building and system
parameters on the overall building energy performance, practicing with different simulation platforms.

Nuclear power plants are contributing around 14% of the world-wide electricity production at competitive
costs without emissions of greenhouse gases. More than 60 nuclear power plants are currently under
construction and more than 150 ones are planned to be built. The courses on nuclear power will cover
a wide range of technologies needed to design and operate such nuclear power plants.
The first semester will start with an introduction to the technologies of pressurized water reactors and
boiling water reactors as well as to the physics of radioactive decay and nuclear fission. These courses
will be accompanied by courses on mathematical modeling, on thermal-hydraulics and nuclear safety,
as well as on the chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle, which in total provide a solid basis for the specialized
courses on nuclear technologies offered in the second semester.
26
These latter courses will go deeper into the reactor core design, including the neutron physics which
are responsible for the fission chain reaction, the heat removal from the fuel rods by the coolant flow
and the assessment methods for the safety performance of these challenging power plants. Moreover,
nuclear power is not only available from natural uranium. The spent fuel can be recycled through the
conversion of uranium to plutonium, for which we need fast reactors and a closed nuclear fuel cycle,
which is subject of two further courses in the second semester.
Last but not least, there are complementary but still important courses offered on radiation protection
and on the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear facilities, as well as on computational fluid
dynamics, which are not based on the learning outcome of other courses. Moreover, a lecture on nuclear
fusion technology will introduce to a new and most innovative domain of nuclear power technologies.

Learning Outcomes
The courses provide students with a basic comprehension of the different approaches of informatics,
especially used in energy economics. Furthermore, the students will obtain an overview of the current
trends in the fields of energy technology and liberalized energy markets.
Content
Within this specialization, two disciplines converge by the use of computer based simulation models to
analyse complex energy systems. To realize this, the lectures will focus on the one hand on optimization
problems which are solved to optimality or approximately by using heuristics. On the other hand, the
lectures provide an overview of the most central topics in the field of energy economics at present,
namely energy efficiency and electric mobility, energy markets, energy resources and technologies as
well as political framework conditions.

Learning Outcomes
The courses provide students with a basic comprehension of the different approaches of Renewable
Energies and Energy Storage Technologies.
The underlying physical, geological, physico-chemical and technological concepts for wind, solar,
geothermal, hydro- and biomass power plants and energy conversion and energy storage ranging
from hydro-power-plants and batteries to power to gas and other unconventional energy storage
technologies
Green footprint of the technologies
Risk and Risk Reduction strategies
A profound knowledge of different technologies in a holistic view is the main outcome of the courses.
This includes the quantitative understanding of underlying processes and mechanisms as well as the
ability to implement state of the art technologies.
Content
The growing population on our planet as well as the successful development of economies leads to
a fast rising energy demand and need of reducing environmental impact of power systems. So called
Renewable Energies such as wind power, solar power, geothermal energy, hydropower or bio-energy
have the potential to deliver sustainable Energy on windy and sunny days or as base-load energy,
respectively. Without storage of energy, a transformation to energy system with low environmental
impact seems rather complicated. With this in mind, the courses are designed for a deeper understanding
of the underlying concepts and processes of different Renewable Technologies and Energy Storage
Concepts. Physical, geological, physico-chemical and technological aspects as well as simulation
strategies for the different technologies are therefore in the focus of the lectures.

Learning Outcomes
To enable the students to operate public utilities for gas and water supply, waste treatment and
disposal
To provide a multidisciplinary approach to the planning, process engineering and management
aspects of such utilities
To enable the students to integrate regional requirements, while taking into account the long-range
preservation of the environment
Content
The main subject Utility Facilities is a multidisciplinary approach to the planning and management,
as well as to the process engineering aspects, of public utilities for gas, water and waste treatment
and disposal. The courses have components in natural sciences, advanced and appropriate technology,
socio-economics and management.
Courses dealing with the application of basic principles of engineering, especially problems of a
municipal utility company, will be offered. Because these municipal companies concern the utilization
of water or fuels, special courses in drinking water preparation (water treatment as separation, oxidation,
biodegradation, disinfection and membrane technology) and transport and storage of chemical energy
carriers (e.g. gas grid, transportation and storage of gaseous fuels), will also be offered. In order to cover
municipal companies for thermal waste treatment, special courses in technical systems for thermal
waste treatment (i.e. grate furnace, rotary kiln, fluidized bed, pyrolysis / gasification technology) and the
technology of high temperature process engineering, dealing with the generation of high temperatures
and the heat transfer mechanisms at high temperatures, will be offered, too.
