Dissertation Topic:

“Design and implementation of a polygeneration pilot system for generating electricity, cold and heat to supply a university building with its energy demand through solar thermal Fresnel concentrating collectors”

Curriculum Vitea:
After completing her high-school studies in India, Farah Gammoh decided to pursue her higher education in Germany with special focus on the renewable energy field. As part of her thesis study she developed a hardware-software interface that could detect defective regions in a single solar cell and illustrate the results through a colour-coded image. During her two-year master program in Offenburg, she worked on the development and installation of a pilot control strategy for hybrid off-grid systems called UESP (Universal Energy Supply Protocol).
In the frame of a Master thesis study, she worked on the world’s largest solar adsorption cooling system in Esslingen-Berkheim.
There is indeed a large scope for research and development in the field of solar thermal polygeneration. This, along with its great economic potential, has led Farah to pursue this topic in more depth.
