Qualifikations­ziele

Students taking the course will

  • gain knowledge of products in energy trading
  • get familiar with modern concepts and methods of analyzing the pricing on energy markets
  • learn how to describe and use procedures of fundamental and mathematical-econometric market analyses
Praxisrelevanz

A great deal of the presented knowledge and methods is used and required in business operations of energy companies. Aside from general competences on all stages of the value chain of electricity, particular emphasis is placed on the fields of energy trading and controlling.

Prüfungs­modalitäten

Written exam (generally 60-90 minutes) or oral exam (generally 20-40 minutes). The chosen examination method (written or oral exam) is defined by the lecturer during the first weeks of the lecture period.

The lecturer decides at the beginning of the course whether additional bonus points for the exam may be reached ahead of the exam based on voluntary attestations, in the form of handed-in solutions to exercises. The exam has to be passed at least with a grade of 4,0 without consideration of this attestation bonus. In this case, the final grade results from the result of the addition of points from both the passed exam and the points earned from the attestations. The consideration of the attestation bonus is limited to a maximum of 15% of the points that can be reached in the final exam. The attestation bonus is only eligible for the exams belonging to the same semester.
