Technische Universitt Mnchen

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hartmut Spliethoff Renewable Energy Technology II Summer Semester 2012 1

Renewable Energy TechnologyRegenerative Energiesysteme

The objective of this lecture is provide

an overview on the current state and

application of renewable energy

technology. The lecture not only

focuses on technologies but also on

environmental, social and economical

factors that lead to the intensivied

world wide harvesting of CO2-neutral

energy sources as well as theirpotentials and limitations. Therefore, it

aims at students of all fields of study

wishing to get an overview on the most

important applications in one lecture.
