Teaching of basic knowledge and application possibilities of optimization methods based on practical examples of electrical power systems. The course is focused on application-related knowledge and application-related skills. A derivation mathematical fundamentals will not take place. The knowledge and competencies acquired are to be further developed independently in the framework of master's theses in the participating subject areas.

The course includes:

• An introduction to optimization ploblems in electic power systems
• optimization problems with and without constraints and their respective solution methods
• mixed integer optimization
• heuristic optimization methods
