The completion of a Master thesis is mandatory for the successful completion of the Master’s Program Elektrotechnik or Elektrotechnik- Wirtschaft, The time allotted corresponds to approximately 6 months, depending on the intensity of work of the student.
The choice of the topic for a master thesis is decisive. The topic should primarily correspond to the student’s interest and be directed at the future professional interest of the student. Therefore, topic proposals by students are gladly accepted provided they fit the research interests of the IEE. Additionally, the IEE regularly advertises topics for possible master theses in order to provide students with appropriate ideas. In either case, the student is advised to contact an assistant at the institute. These advertised topics may be found on the notice board of the institute, or on the institute’s homepage.
Critical scenario identification in energy system planning under uncertainty using decomposition methods
The goal of this Master thesis is to extend the Benders decomposition for scenario-based stochastic programing to perform a reduction of the considered scenarios during the decomposition based on their marginal information.
Innovative storage hydropower plants for highly renewable energy systems
The aim of this master's thesis is to determine the potential for U-PSKW in Austria as well as suitable locations and to evaluate investments in this technology techno-economically in the LEGO energy optimization model.
Bridging Data Gaps for the Optimization of Sector-Coupled & Sustainable Energy Systems
The aim is to extend an existing time series generation tool to include modules for electricity and heat time series. Using state-of-the-art methods from the current literature, the generator should use existing data to generate relevant data points.
